Here are a couple of females I took a couple of quick snaps of. Not the best pics, but these girls are starting to look nice. These things hatch out BLACK with the typical pattern, and people can't believe they turn into extremely light adults.
Newly hatched baby.

04 hatchling around 6 months old.

Here's a sibling. I have a feeling this girl is going to be one of the best I've produced.

10 months. This is the same snake pictured below as an 18 month old and 2 year old.

18 months.

2 years.

Adult Momma.

Sorry for all the pics. Thanks for looking. BROOKSI RULE!!!

You know I love these but that set of pics really spells it out as far just how drastic those change from hatchling to adult. Too cool, keep those pics coming, didn't you grab a Lavender at Daytona? If so how's that turning out? Tom Stevens

Amazing change they go through isn't it?
I really like them. What does the male look like that you breed to the white female? Is he white as well? Or, is her white trait co dominant?
Great Brooksi again Brandon! I gotta have some now.....

Nice series showing the changes in color/pattern with age. I love that two year old snake

very pretty, and very interesting, Brandon. It's a reminder that some snakes do change their appearance rather dramaticallyk with age. I forget that sometimes. I think I or another poster on thius forum might have overlooiked that in answering someone's question.

also intersting because the animal's LOSING pigment: I just posted on the milksnake forum about how many honduran milks GAIN pigment--yellow, in the case of the hondos. Interestingly, they don't gain as much in the mid-triad rings that can vary from white to cream to yellow to orange, on a normal, but in the rings that would be BLACK on a wildtype, making a conspicuous change on amelanistic specimens when it occurs.
