Thanks Brad!,.....you are very welcome. Yeah, I knew you and some of the other's here would certainly remember Jim's awesome "moonshine" greenish rats..LOL!

Yes, I certainly agree,.....very cool indeed!

Well, there are actually quite a fair number of sexual dimorphic types of snakes, as well as wild species in nature too, aside from just the sexual size differences in many.

Just one good example in nature would be Boomslangs.......

Sexual dimorphism is particularly apparent in Boomslangs: females are brown, whereas males are light green with black highlights.

Another captive-bred example would be ghost corns, where the males are almost ALWAYS lighter than the females.

In brooksi(floridana), it is almost always the males that are the lighter, yellower and more speckled idividuals in a given population amongst the ooolitic limestone canal banks.

There are many other examples of sexual color/pattern differences in snakes too, but those were just a few I thought of.
