a question
ive noticed that only at night the whites from the
bottom show dramatically.. I was wondering why so?
preferably asking for the BRB breeders knowledge on this one..
this was taken at night, recently

Re: a question
This is pretty common. Snakes tend to change colours at night, some do it when they eat, it just happens. pretty neat though

Re: a question
Nobody knows for sure but the common thought is it has something to do with thermoregulation. With the dark sides during the daytime for absorbing heat and the white sides at night to retain heat.
Metachrosis is the proper term for an animal changing color.

Re: a question
You are correct, sir. The more casual term is "whitewalling."

Re: a question
Thanks for digging that up!
Funny how collections evolve, both those snakes have since been rehomed.
