Just to show you about corns changing color....especially bloodreds.....


This is always so fun to do, especially when you look back 8 months to see what this guy started off looking like.

So anyway, here we are today and he's freshly shed and 65 grams and taking hoppers without a problem. I have a feeling that within a month or two he'll be on small adults....

So we'll start off with a picture from August 1st, and right out of the egg.


And then again on August 9th, freshly shed for the first time.


Fast forward about a month later to September 19th, and you've got a new coat of skin and a bit bigger with some better colors coming in.



Just shy of a month later, on October 17th you can really see the color starting to come in. Amazing what one shed does, aint it?

Nov 12th brings another shed and some more colors out.


According to the EXIF data on this picture, this was taken on Dec 12th---so that's what I'm going to assume as well. Colors are still starting to come out.


This one is from Jan 14th. Color seems a bit dark to me, so I'm assuming this isn't a freshly shed picture, but it's still a good demonstration of changes.


Now I seem to be missing pictures from Jan 14th to today....but that's okay.

Here's this guy as of last night:

cool pcs nice looking snake too

Nice Corn! :mrgreen:

That's so awsome, almost like time lapse photography or highspeed film! I've never seen one right out of the egg & was surprised (although I don't know why) at how tiny he is in the first picture (and he's adorable with is big giant baby eyes!). The transformation over eight months is already so drastic, it's easy to see how the red coloration is slowly overpowering all the other pigments and washing out the pattern he was born with. Will he continue to change color his whole life, getting darker & more uniform, or does he reach a kind of plateau after a certain age?

It can take anywhere from 2 to 5+ years for a bloodred to get their 'adult' coloration in. So I suppose to answer your question....their color is changing their entire life, but I believe once they become solid red snakes you just don't really see the change like you do when they're a hatchling.

pretty oketee

No need to get rude.

I love those Bloodred colors. I really need to get one!
