Is that last one a normal adult? I didn't think the color changed that much.

Correct me if I'm wrong Randy, but I believe that's a young adult, hypo deppei. Very nice snake.

Sorry, thought you were asking about the deppei. Love those flavirufa though. I think they do lose some luster as they mature. Still really cool.

Wow. Every time I see a pic of those yellow jani I am amazed. I have a male that is getting more orange by the day, but I haven't seen to many yellows. My female is still not doing very well. She hasn't eaten in a few weeks and is starting to look very thin. She is smaller now than when I recieved her, I think. She was problematic from the start, but I also made some husbandry mistakes and I'm affraid it's too late. I'm almost at the point of considering force feeding, just to get some food in her. I really don't want to do that though, as I know the stress it puts them under(maybe doing more harm than good). Anyway, I'll try and post a new pic of the male, who is growing like a weed and getting some good color.

Good luck with that female. I hope she turns around for you.

Those are awesome. How old are those pics? Have they changed much in apperance since you took them? I ask because I think I have seen those before. It will be cool to see how they progress. Keep us posted.

Thanks Matt. Those pics are a couple months old and they are a little better now. I'll post some more recent photos when I take some.
