Digesting Colors

A couple of times now this one has turned this red when digesting. Notice the red water bowl is not bright and glaring because the photo is not enhanced.

I've noticed that my harlequins really flare up in color during the first 24-48 hours of digesting as well. I haven't noticed it as much in my other boas, but I wasn't really looking for it either. It's neat to see, makes you wish they'd keep the color all the time, huh?

Ya, Mike.

It seems that " heat and digestion and especially being pissed off, makes them color up nicely. "

I have some little Surinames, that you can have them in the palm of your hand and they will be huffing and puffing and you can watch them change colors right there in front of you. "

Cool Stuff Mike, John J

I love digesting colors! Beautiful animal. I'm eager to see it at 5 ft!
Looks like that storm didn't knock you too far off the beaten path, you're already back and posting pics!
