Great looking. I notice some have white bands others yellow. Does the local they come from dictate that?

Here in central Fl they are born with white bans and start turing yellow after a few meals I had a couple that had a pale yellow on their head band right out of the egg.

Okay thanks. I notice you breed yours. What day/night temps do you keep your adults at and do you "cool" them?
I read on a site that scarlets actually not easy to breed but I see pics of your babies here and there.
Thanks.

I have a ltc pair from Brevard county Fl.Since I live here also I just keep them in an outdoor snake house that is shaded. It has the normal cen. Fl temp fluctuations. I do bring them into the garage if a freez is coming. That is usually a couple of weeks during January.

Thanks . I am looking into one but my prob is that I use AC which keeps my house at 68 to 70 so was thinking of a heating pad and/or a ceramic heat emmiter but I wont if to cool.
I live in florida to but want to keep it inside.
