Re: Speckled rattlesnake colors!!!
Wow, what beautiful animals with amazing variation! I know that you say that they are not morphs, but in a way they are aren't they? If a naturally occurring morph say the very light colored snake offers some benefit (like better camo), then that snake would have a better chance to reproduce etc., etc, etc. after a while they breed true to color because the darker phased babies don't make it to adulthood to breed, We just call them different phases based on the environment they live in.
