Hey Mike,



Thanks for the pics, that definitely helps! I guess sometimes it's difficult to tell the exact color(s) of the snake from the pictures, so that probably caused confusion. (I know first hand how hard it is to capture certain colors accurately since I collect/sell fossil shark teeth over the internet. It can get frustrating taking 75 pictures and not being able to capture the actual colors!) Not that there can't be other variations, but what you explained and showed makes more sense to me. If the anery snake turns different shades of brown/black (rather than developing any orange/red ) later in life, then I see no reason to question that. I think many other species have changes in melanin production over time, so the changes in brown/black shades don't surprise me.



I really like that last picture, that was a real treat. Like someone else mentioned, that hypo is outstanding! Good luck with your project, I hope you get the ghost.



Thanks,

Ed
