I bought this from a guy that said he had a litter that had about 5 or 6 that looks like this and the rest were normal looking and both parents where normal red.....it doesn't show on the pix well but she has zero red color and no yellow in her cresents she is really light colored almost dull....her head is grey and the only tan on her is on her saddles.....is this normal in youngsters?? I don't have a url to post a picture so if you think you have a guess would you please email me and i'll send a pic....jasonkkirtley@yahoo.com thanks

Jason sent me a couple PICs. This is one of them. I think this snake looks like a fairly typical not too colorful BRB before it has it's first shed or when it is going opaque before a second or third shed. Many of them are born pale colored and color up over the first few sheds. Many of mine also seem to turn plainer after those first few sheds and stay that way for around a year or two and then get much better color after that.
