corn snake coloring

[LISA127]

Hi. I have a quick question, out of curiousity. I have a 3 year old corn snake, I believe it is an okeetee. Up until this point, she has always been a bright red/orange color w/black borders, and the belly has always been the bright white and black checkerboarding. It seems, with age and size, her belly is getting more and more orange scales between the checkerboarding. I didn't know this was supposed to happen. The coloring on top is the same as always. Do all corns belly's do this?

They all vary with age. Some get more coloring some get less it seems.

if you dont like the orange colouring then i find a felt tip pen works wonders........


yes, i think its normal for corns to discolour a bit as they get older.. my snow shows more and more yellow on each shed......
