Yeah, both Ann & Diablo have amazing color! Minnie is from his Akoya (Pearl phase) x Baroque (also Pearl Phase) litter. Pearl x Pearl produced a cool, updated version of "the ol'" Bullseye as shown by Minnie. Not sure you can call anything about a breed that's been in the trade such a short time "ol'" though.

I'm guessing by the darkness of her sides that picture was taken during the day? (That read terribly!) I meant nothing bad by that! She's gorgeous! I was just inferring the color of his animals are amazing, even better than depicted. Sorry if that came across harshly.

Re: I would like to introduce you to:

Is she even old enough for her colors to change? Thought that happened as they got a little older but I could be wrong. I haven't even looked at mine long enough during the day or night to see if I could tell a difference. I'm leaving her alone as much as possible.

My 6/11 female from Twin Cities definitely changes!

Cool. Sometimes I get a bit over-sensitive via E-mail/text/forum... written word, as your tone never comes across. The part where I assumed by her color she wasn't as beautiful as possible in the picture, could have been read in a somewhat arrogant tone. I just wanted to make sure that wasn't the intent.

I used to write for a living, so I was very frequently "coached" on how to not leave ANY chance that what you type in black and white can IN NO WAY be taken as rude, harsh, condescending, etc. etc. etc.! Lol!

Re: I would like to introduce you to:

Well they actually do change color as they grow, to more resemble their parents, but they also "whitewash" I think it's called, where some will have really nice, high white sides. Those white sides happen to be my favorite BRB trait. You wanna see some CRAZY day-night color changes? Dig this: Dominican Red Mountain Boa - Day/Night Photos

Umm, did I just highjack my own thread?

Re: I would like to introduce you to:

Metachrosis, or "whitewalling," is I believe what you are thinking of. A snake showing this will have white sides at night where color would normally appear during the day. There is a dedicated thread on this same board from a few months back.

Brazilians often take 1.5-2.5 years to show their final adult coloration. Some even seem to go through a less attractice juvenile phase before brightening up.

Hope this helps!
