I have a similar experience with "Zombie Pinkies". My female red HATES and I mean hates F/T pinks. She does not even tolerate them near her. As soon as I drop a live pink in front of her she mauls it like it was going to get away.



In contrast my male red doesn't care what you put in front of him. He will literally eat out of my hand. I found out by accident that I can hold him and just hold a F/T in front of him and he opens his mouth and waits for me to put it in.



It all depends on the snake's personality.



As far as color. My male has gotten slightly more red since I got him. My female on the other hand has changed more significantly. She has a darker coloration but the more she sheds the more her red highlights start to come out.



P.S. Just fyi both my hogs are Red Het. Albinos born in 09
