Default hmmm interesting..

hi all,
could do with a few opinions. i got this lad as a snow, but as he is maturing he is getting more and more pink... non of my other snows have developed this and i was wondering if there was more going on with him than meets the eye... opinions would be most welcome

ok, this is him in 07 as a wee babe


at a year old..


and now..


this is my snow female for comparison


thanks

around the head and so on he looks rather hypo/coral but doesn't seem consistant enough throughout the rest of his body so i would go with snow

I would say its a snow. Snows tend to vary a fair bit in colouration

this is what i was thinking.. will be interesting to see if he colours up anymore as he grows.. the pink/coral is getting darker and spreading further down gradually.

thanks hun

i have no idea to be honest, i got him from my local reptile shop in 07 as a snow, i am unsure of his parentage. he is pinker in the scales so to speak and developing more as time goes on

either way he is still gorgeous lol
