Hard to tell in this lighting but it's actually purple-ish brown with pink splotches/bands.

Thanks! Specks have become a favorite of mine!

She's finally in winter mode and refusing to eat, wasn't sure if she was gonna do that or not cause she was a vigorous eater up until about 2-3 weeks ago.

Nice-looking snake! Time to turn off the heat and let her brumate until the Spring.

Yup she's all cooled down, got a light on just for light. You gotta send me photos of your heloderma set ups I'm supposed to get mine next week!

Thanks! Yea she looks very menacing but is actually pretty well behaved for a crote.

Very nice. I used to keep a blue and a red speck. Awesome snakes to work with. :)

[D Grade]

Beautiful Speck. I'm still a sucker for the whites though. :)

How's the temperament of Specks compared to other Crotes? I'm planning on acquiring one this year but don't have first hand handling experience with them. My C. Molossus is very chill and has never taken a hack at me, only rattled to let me know she's there (rarely does that now). Speck temperament more on the Mellow Molossus side or more on the angry kill mode that C. Tigeris, C. Scutulatus, and most C. Atrox are on?

Very pretty girl. I love that face. :)

[macandchz]

the eyes on her are so different! is she actually purple colored?

Depends on the light but in sunlight she is a dark purple/brown with pink patterning - she's a great snake for sure.
