: I have a so-called Pakistani Jewel ratsnake, according to the breeder 'Spalerosophis D atricepts'. Initially looking like an 8" baby gopher snake, it turned strawberry-red at 2 yrs old with a gloss black head & tail plus scattered black blotches down his 4 ft long body. He behaves more like a racer than a ratsnake although handleable and not nippy. But there is apparently another subspecies (possibly Spalerosophis d cliffordi) that changes to pale yellow with the same black blotches. Can anyone verlfy this is the right subspecies, or do they keep/breed this color subspecies?
