Beautiful snakes! My BRB and me are jealous of those markings lol
I never heard about the color change at night either- very interesting. I was just lamenting how my guy's sides were starting to brown out instead of the orange he used to be. Now I'm wondering if I was looking the wrong time of day
I will def be watching that!

He is almost a year and a half now. These pics are all old. I think I snapped a few pics the other day, but they are still in my phone. Will post them soon.

Ya, you can see on the sides where it might turn white. Try turning off the lights and then go in and take pics after about an hour. The pics I took were like at 1am.

very nice, I always loved how they had white sides at night. Strike has some terrific red coloration and I love the almost bullseye crescents on Dhalia. Thanks for sharing!

She looks like a Pearl to me! I have several Pearls, the older ones look very much like yours. The line is fairly new, and I'm sure with selective breeding, the sides will remain clean circles like they are as babies. I've noticed that they do get more speckled as they grow. You are very lucky to have that girl.... Pearls fetch a high price these days!

Here are some of mine:

Hey, if that the truth I wouldnt complain considering the breeder sold her to me for slightly under the price of a normal

I was wondering though, is pearl genetic and if so is it recessive, dominant...or is it just a line breeding kind of thing?

They were... then the ball craze hit and a lot of professional and private breeders moved all their attention elsewhere. Can't really blame them, financially it was the tempting thing to do.

A lot of really awesome species have been put to one side and produced in smaller numbers with less public attention than they used to be.

It is not 100% known what is going on, but it appears to be somewhat non-recessive genetic... but also partially line bred. I know, its confusing. But from what I have seen the better looking adults you use, the more chances you get the pearls. For example, a beautiful pearl male was bred to a bullseye female and a female with fairly normal crescents. The bullseye female threw more pearls than the other one, but they both produced them.

Also, it appears that pearls are born male more often than female. This would lead me to believe that something is going on with the genes.

There needs to be MANY more breeding trials to get this 'gene' truly figured out. I have to say that they are one of my favorite 'morphs' (if you can call it that) of BRBs. I hope to breed this into the proven morphs such as Hypo and Anery, but that definetely wont be this year. I should be producing some 'normal' pearls this fall, however.

I say cherish your female, as she is beautiful and you are so lucky to have gotten her at such a low price!

lol, well at least its not completely recessive and Im guessing she has at least two or three years before breeding so maybe by then I will have talked my self into buying a male pearl from you. Do you know if anyone has done pearl x pearl?
