Do Snakes Tan?

The reason I ask is that all of the WC adult corns I have seen display the 4 dusky stripes prominently, enough so the entire snake is an overall dusky tan. Meanwhile, most of the adult CB (I have seen) lack the stripes or have only slight development of the duskyness.



Is this what we would call a suntan? Does my observation hold true for everyone? Could it be regional bias (East Tennessee)? Or maybe I just don't get out enough!



Just Basking,



John D
