raaarj2,
. If you cannot see the irridescence indoors try taking the snake out into natural light. It should show up well there. If it does not show irridescence under natural sunlight it may indicate a skin problem. Can you post a PIC of your snake? You asked about colors. Most BRBs are born a pale reddish orange (sometimes pinkish) color. They darken very much when they shed for the first time. Many of them continue to darken with each of their first four or five sheds. Most of them do not get their best colors until they are 18 to 24 months old.

you're using sand as a substrate. She could be covered with dust and it's making her too dirty to be glowing the way she should be. Try using aspen bedding and a good misting.
