Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

T- vs T+ butter house snake morphology?
I'm new to the hobby.
I have a few butter house snakes.
They were presented as T+ and I have no reason to doubt. They came from very reputable breeders (experts in many African species including house snakes).
I understanding the scientific explanation of T- and T+. Tyrosinase, etc.
That said, I still search for a better understanding of the morphology?
I've seen photos of T- butter house snakes. And I've seen photos of T+ house snakes, and I have my house snakes. (My two prettiest house snakes are pale yellow but also bright in color, especially in sunlight. There is a very slight hint of orange to their color. One has darker eyes. The other has lighter eyes that are slightly green-gold in color - not red or pink.)
Does anyone know how to tell or determine T- morphology? Does it have to do with the color of the snake? More strongly orange in color? Or does it have to do more with the color of the eyes that helps one determine the presence or absence of tyrosinase?
Thanks for your time.

T- have red eyes vs T+ have black.
Typically T- are more yellow vs T+ are typically more orange.
