    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello,

I own an 8 month old female Northern Pine and her coloration is showing varying degrees of chestnut to almost pink.

Along her sides she is showing a lighter chestnut, almost a pink coloration and there is some darker chestnut along her dorsal scales. I saw it when I got it and with this last shed it has become more defined.

Is this a normal coloriation trait or??? I read on a caresheet that sometimes this color does come out as the snake gets older.

Would beinterested in hearing thoughts etc...

Thanks
Charles
 
Has your snake retained the colors of brown/black on its blotches and white/cream on its ground color?

Sounds very interesting!

Yep

She retained the normal colors except that further down her body she begins to show the darker chestnut red/brown and all along her body where her top scales meet her underbody there is a line that shows pinkish/light chestnut coloration.

Pictures coming soon...

Marwal, I checked and she is pure Northern...


Discern, I will post pics after her next shed as the only ones I have right now are not the best.
