I have a few CB 03 subocs and on several occasions I have found them completely submerged in their water cup for hours on end (head obviously out of water). One actually stayed submerged for 24 hours. I find this interesting behavior because I have heard so much about subocs not liking water at all. I have never observed this in my adult subocs. All snakes are completely healthy and have been since day one. Also, there does not seem to be any correlation with sheding as one might expect. Any one else have similar experiences?



Also, just out of curiosity, do blonde phase subocs populations actually exist in the wild? Or is the blonde phase just a freak genetic trait like albinism that occurs occasionaly in any population? Thanks!
