Naomi, just bear in mind if you are looking at hatchies then whatever colour they start will most likely change considerably over time!! Good luck choosing :)
Thanks again all for the lovely comments am a proud dad lol Naomi - I got her from a reptile shop in Leeds called tyranusaurus pets Very helpful staff too I gotta say He had a few different morphs in and really cared for the snakes too & not just interested in the money which filled me with confidence being new to snakes :-)
it sounds like she's very relaxed, if she drank while sitting on yr hand- so you definitely made a good choice at the shop; got the one with a laid-back attitude... as time passes you'll notice that she has a distinctly different character to the other snakes you'll get- It's infinitely fascinating to me that a reptile can have a noticable personality, but they do! give her a little more tiome to show hers, and her name should come naturally. best of luck with yr snakey-princess
and you thought there was no such thing as a stupid question....
1.2.0 corns: captain haddock, sharon the tiddler and Darling Debbie. plus 0.2.0 cali kings: spot and Numpty... not forgetting the delightful Miss Lovely-Gonzalez-La-Poop apricot pueblan milk snake, and we all miss the Lodger who thought he was a cobra....
Lol - Naomi have a quick look here at amel (orangey) anery (brown/grey) and normal - start off brown as hatchies with tiny little orange dots between the saddles - and end up pretty orange lol! May help you decide which one to get :) I'm guessing from what you posted that will be what your shop has got ;) http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/
