: : Even with the "oketee" or what many are now calling the "Jasper County" corns. I have been hunting in and around Jasper cty. SC, at least a 6 times...and have seen lots of different looking corns from that area. They are NOT all screaming orange.

: : Yellow-tails bring up another issue...the babies are patterned much different than the adults do. They are patterned. (see the pic on indigosnakes.com) Having never bred them (yet) I don’t know how long it takes for them to make the transformation or if you can even tell what a juvie will look like as an adult.

: : It may be they are like chondro pythons and you just have to guess based on what the parents look like.

: dean, judging from my [formerly] juvie yt, it takes about a year or more for them to lose the banding in captivity. i think it's a size thing actually. seems to start to fade quickly at around 3'. she came in here last fall as a yearling 2 footer and heavily marked. now she's easily doubled her size and looks much more like an adult. may take longer in the wild however. and here's the kicker dean........she's not psycho! lol.
