: : i have a pair of yearlings...they have started their colorchange about 3 month ago...and i think they will keep on changing...overall they have turned a beautiful charcoal dark grey...to black...very shiny with irricedence...the most yellow yet, is on the chin and closer to the head...but the bands get brighter and yellower with each shed...
: : I dont know if there is a way to predict how they look as adults...unless maybe you could look at the parents.
: : Mine are a absolute joy...very curious snakes...very calm..not "calm" as a ball python....but not as hyper as other ratsnakes might be....
: : mine have never yet shown any aggression...other then towards he rodent (frozen / thawed) while being in shed....lol. It was kind of funny, actually...So while they continue to eat through the shed cycle...they get an attitude towards the food...hehe....they hiss and strike at it...then eat it...
: : i switched them to frozen thawed food as soon as i got them last summer.
: : They really enjoy to climb and use their branches and hides and all other decorations quite a lot...
: : humidity is only about 40 to 50%, they do fine with this.....they do have a bowl of moist moss in their cage....sometimes they both lay on/in this.
: : hope this helps a little...
: : Lucy
