Here are mine--bad photos, but hopefully they help. I used to think they were yellows, but with the orange color in the female's babies (she was bred to my albino male), I have to think they are all actually Everglades.

Also, the alternate name ghost seems to fit; every shed they have their remaining color seems to fade away, leaving them a bit more, uh, ghostly, if you will.

Great looking animal!

Thanks! The top photo is actually of the female (the cage is clean--the weird background "stains" are from the wall and some leftover tape on the outside of the cage (years ago it was a masked off section for my tokays' privacy).

The bottom photo is of the male successfully constricting a thawed mouse!

I feel lucky with the pair--I picked them up from Don Soderberg last April.
