Jerry and others...

I picked up the high orange female as a yearling back in the winter of 04/05. At the time, she was the usual brownish/gray Solomon Island ground boa (nothing special at all). As she got larger she started to lighten up and became orange. Interestingly enough, after a big meal or if the temps drop she will change back to a darker brownish color (being dark is more efficient at absorbing heat).

Just thought I would share.
