hi all
just wanting to know as im looking at getting a new snake soon and was thinking of getting a caramel can someone let me know if they are always dark coloured when they are young and then get lighter or if i should be looking for a light colour to begin with as iv been looking at lots of pictures on ian's site and all the pictures of hatchlings are a dark reddish colour

In short, yes they are darker as hatchlings and change colour as they grow.

Yep, they start off looking anery with a dash of yellow on their heads, and the yellow spreads down their body, and the black/brown saddles turn a lighter brown...

You made me venture onto that terribly dangerous site, Iansvivarium, to look into this Jane ! Once you're on there you can't help looking at all the different morphs and before you know it you've got a wish list that's GOT to be fulfilled .

This is the link to the caramel corn, and it shows the difference between the hatchling and adult, as well as quite a few pics of the stages in between http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/caramel/

Dan's progression thread is brilliant, as it'll really show you how one particular caramel changes as it grows.....and it is a particularly beautiful caramel .
