Re: BHP colour change

Very interesting color change.. Is it a normal thing to have a color change like that in this type of snake?

Hi gungirl, it is not that common an occurence. Their are certainly a few of these animals about in their home country but as yet no-one seems to know why it happens although a few ideas have been put forward, but it is a long way from been fully understood. She was a normal type BHP (indeed i also have her sister who has exhibited no change) animals it has happened to turn or change colour at sexual maturity. She is now four year old which is about right with BHP,s. It is also a inheritable trait and along with her sister she will be paired with males later in the year so fingers crossed.
