Call this one snake eyes because the two dots on the tail. The colors of this snake are closer to deep pink but the flash has bleached it out.

i think in all boas & maybe even all snakes there is some sort of enzyme release after they feed and and there colors really seem to pop about 18hrs after there feeding! when ever i need to get a good! photograph i will always feed them and take the shot the following day and they really do seem to be several shades lighter and the color really pops! just MO of course!
