Snow corn coloring?

[Derrick]

I've have a couple of snow corns for about a year now. With each progressive shed they seem to get more and more of a carmel-y coloring on thier belly and a very little bit up the side. Is this common(probably)? What can I expect them too look like full sized? They are around 26" now.

Oh and whats breeding size?

Most snows develop yellow, especially around the heck and head area.

Breeding size is really dependant on the female who will be doing most of the work, most people say above and beyond 36 inches to ensure she is big enough. The male can be smaller than this as he isn't laying eggs. Not a hatchling or anything but young males can most definitly breed.

a skinney 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft... corn would be no good for breeding. young females need to be 300+grams before breeding regardless of age. There is a difference between a 3 ft 300 gram female and a 6 ft 300 gram female but that would be better under the feeding forum.
