Woohoo! My Girl's going Green!!!

MegF Sep 27, 2005 10:43 AM

I checked on Tempest this morning and she's finally starting to change. When I had her out the other day, I thought her red looked a little muted and kind of lavender colored. She is due to shed though, so I thought it might be that. But today you can really see the green coming out. I took some pictures, but the water mist on her reflects too much to see well, so I'll take some later after she dries off a bit. CCCCCOOOOOOOOLLLLL!

My husband is bummed that she's not going to stay yellow, but I'm looking forward to seeing her true beauty. Sorry Shiloh!! But, you know some of those Canary's.....they sometimes turn green and then gradually turn back yellow.......

I give it two days. You'll wake up to a new snake. This is my favorite part about chondro keeping.

no no,i said the same thing when we were discussing your snake a couple months ago.(you can go back and look)i compared her neonate colors to my manakwari.mine had the exact look as yours and retained the yellow for a long time as well.then,one day i noticed some green and about 3-4 days later,he was all green and blue.it was amazing.i think julian is right,give or take a couple days,i think shes gonna be a really quick changer.my guess will be a week at the most.

MegF Sep 27, 2005 11:03 PM

Well, once again, we shall see! However quickly, I'll try to get some pictures along the way.
