I have heard about some existing but are they becoming more common?

Alot of dumerils are very pink when they are born, some snakes hold this coloration into adulthood, but most loose this "pinkish" neonate coloration as they mature.

I would like to find myself a female pink Dumerils that has a proven bloodline to keep her colour as an adult. Any leads are appreciated. I live in Ontario, Canada.

I don't know of any offhand, You could search and watch the classifieds for such specimens, I have an adult pair, the male is 8 years old and still pinkish, the female (also 8)lost her pink coloration at about 3 years old, I don't bred them at this time however, they have bred in the past, but to be honest I would look for a person who has both parnets staying "pink" for a better chance of getting what you want.

I have seen pics but with the colour washed out from poor photography. Anyone have some good pics they don't mind posting?

This male dumerils is 4 years old now. He is not as light as he was as a baby

That is a great looking snake having a very light colour, but is that considered a pink?
