What goes around comes around (bairdi)

In 2005 I got a baby female Baird’s rat snake. After some months of growing I took a couple pictures of it.

After it had grown to become a lovely small adult, around 2008 I’m guessing, I sold it to a friend of mine. He kept it for a couple years, and I recently got it back from him. Here it is today.

I now have a beautiful Baird’s rat that I once raised from a baby!

Looks like your friend fed him plenty of milk and cookies Love that yellowish, nearly patternless anterior portion. My '07 has been turning yellow up front too but still has striping. The blothes on the youngster look really orangey too. Mine were all dark gray which is more what I'm used to seeing. Is that by any chance a Vivid line animal?

Thanks for the reply! Don't know the lineage, unfortunately.

Weird! All of mine looks like the front 3d of this one! When he was young, they could have been twins..
