Hassan...the Papuan Olives seem to be highly intelligent (for a snake), and the color change is not major, but may be related to emotion or temp. As to eating other snakes, especially their mates, I know it's happened, but mine don't seem to have the inclination. My female is double the weight of the male, same length of 12'. They're very interesting animals, and very little is known about them. They "huff" when disturbed, and once they're being held, show no tendancy to bite. They have, on occasion, given me a half-hearted strike/bite when first disturbed, so I use gloves when first picking them up. Not many have been bred.
