Posted by Shaky on January 31, 2002 at 22:07:10:

6 months of age.From Vivid.
Since I just can't get their color right with the camera, I'm gonna try to describe. Compare with yours.
Male and female are very diff.-looking.

Male --is starting to get his lengthwise striping.
Banding is now a cinnamon brown, rapidly paling.
Lots of brick-red showing between scales.
Belly is a deep pumpkin orange.

Female -- much more yellow-brown.
Banding almost faded away.
No stripes.
belly a lighter yellow-orange.

Size-both over 20".
female ate her first weaned mouse.
Male still on large, fuzzy pinkies(3 at a time)
Female's head is larger than male's. Both near same length.

good day!
