Day/Night colour change

[ChristinaM]

thought this deserved it's own thread

By golly, Trevor was right imagine that

The change is amazing.......I will post some pics later on.

Why this colour change between night and day?

My "guess" is similiar to bearded dragons, the colour is darker during the day to absorb more heat....at night the colour lightens because they don't need as much heat.

am I right?

some older pics, but showing the dif. nonetheless:

daytime:


nighttime:

I think that's what it is. My Hog Isle looks like a completely different snake at night!
