interested in pits but couple ??'s

classdwhite Oct 28, 2007 11:02 AM

so ive decided that i want my next snake to be a pit but i cant decide which one i want.

i was looking at crumbly line red bulls and looking at some pics of the younger ones they seem kinda brownish with maybe a little hint of red. as adults do they all get a lot more red or is it only the best ones from a particular litter while the rest may stay that brownih color? cuz i REALLY like the looks of those RED ones!

i also came across a photo of a bull just called a "tri color" that snake looked AMAZING! it looked like there were 3 different snakes fused into one. any1 have any info on a snake like this or where i can get one.

and the last thing, i really like the look of n. pines and the last reptile expo i went to had a few of them, so my question is, without seeing the parents, is there any way of predicting how much white the snake may develop or keep?

I'd say you have to see the parents. It's that way with most snakes and Pits are no exception.

I would imagine if you see a baby with a lot of white it will stay that way or get better. Seems that way with Black Pines. Some babies are brown and show pattern and go almost all black as they age, where some babies just start out almost all black. Look for that but the opposite (being mainly white).
