What kind of Rainbows are these?

Just curious what kinds of Brazilians I have. Outward appearance suggests that they are different, but I could be wrong. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

The one on the right looks a little bit hypomelanistic...I'm not saying it's co-dominant hypomelanism...just saying it looks like reduced red and black pigment with some reduced dorsal pattern. I'm no expert, that's just what it looks like to me.

Good luck, Chris Olson

Chris,
The one snake does look a "little bit" hypomelanistic. But, I think the Albinoman is right. Both of these snakes look like they are within the range of normal coloration for BRBs.

In my opinion they are just two really nice Brazilian rainbows

Look like they were photographed in their nighttime color.
