Hypo/salmon 's and pastels regularly change color throughout the day. Also another extreme are my Brazilian rainbow boas:

This is Savannah, she was my rescue BRB I bought her as an adult with dry skin and crusty eyes. I could see the color behind all that and look at her now.

Here is Savannah again, Both pics taken on same day, The one above at around 10:30 AM, this one about 12 hours later. Check out the difference in her sides.

is the main time I take pictures. About 2-3 hours after dark, I rudely awaken them and take pics. But, I've got to be quick about it because some of them are quick to darken. The only boas I tend to prefer in the darker phase are albinos.
