high yellow blizzard

xenophon Apr 21, 2006 07:50 PM

hello all, I have a 7 month old blizzard with some unusual color markings. I understand that some blizzards have a bit of yellow around the chin area, and that's understandable, but mine is starting to get some colorings around where his blotches would usually be. They are mostly around the neck area and also show up about a 1/3 of the way down the snake and are progressively getting more pronounced and are covering more of the snake each shed. Is this normal to have this much yellow? I thought they were supposed to be all white...

thanks
Quintin

i know the colors do happen, eventhough i have personally never seen one. i have heard it happens... but they tend to get more white as they become a year or so old.
