Black pigment absorbs heat.....when the sun is low in the sky they are trying to absorb as much heat as possible. As the sun rises they lighten up as they do not need to absorb as much heat.......
Some even think that after years of captive line breeding snakes lose their black pigment because they don't need it anymore to absorb the heat from the sun......
Reduced black Pyromelana, Knoblochi, Thayeri, Annulata and others have expressed this through years of line breeding...... ----- John Lassiter
Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...
