I'm afraid your probably right. A source I trust has clued me in that the color change can be induced by soaking the snake in gatorade apparently. I did not know this. I knew that I have soaked a BP in betadine (for injury, yes I made sure to keep her face out of the solution) and it did not induce a color change in the snake (very slight redening of the next shed, nothing like in those photo's) I thought if betadine could not color them, well then nothing would (It sure stains everything else in a hurry!) Probably best that I did not get even close to winning the bidding war, but I am disappointed. I have a definate weakness for red reptiles.



The name of the site that I got the information I trust from is banned from this site (site owner issues) but if your interested, e-mail me and I will provide you with a link. It is not absolute proof, but it is from someone I know (internet know, not personal know) and trust.
