When they are born they are very dark with a light ring around the neck. They are born 1-2 inches long and about 2-3 MM in diameter.

They grow very rapidly and within a few weeks they start to look like the adults do, just smaller.

My largest "Athena" is about 16-18 inches long, and by Dekay Brown standards, that is a huge snake.

They make interesting pets too Several of mine will sit in my left hand and eat from my right while I hold them.
