.. the anery-look and the not-anery-look.. or Silver and Gold phases. I chose to photo these two together because they are so alike in pattern, yet so different in color and tone.

These beauties were born here about this time last year, they constantly amaze me! The longicauda in general are pretty interesting. The babies can look so different. There is no real polymorphism in populations of Boa (like you see in Candoia or some Corallus sp. as examples) but small longicauda sure come close, adults tend to appear much more alike.

Photo is from just now.
