    I have a snake with similar colours to the golddust. How long does it take for the snake to reach its adult colours? The snake I have is a yearling and is currently the same colour as your hatchling

    His eye is a more reddish colour than the eye of a normal corn, a reddish brown colour as opposed to a brown eye

    I didn't buy it, I bred it. Dad was sold to be as a candycane, but he could be a creamsicle, Mammy looks like a Oketee without the black bands surrounding her saddles

    It was the only non-amel in the clutch

    8 hatchlings out of about 15 eggs. Reptile Haven got two b/c they sold me the female when she was ovulating instead of breeding her to one of their own. The two they took eventually died. Three (good feeders to boot!) escaped on me, 1 bad feeder died. The hatchling in question was the first to feed for me, he's a good size for a ten month old now. The last baby started out as a good feeder (ate other babies food as well as its own) but after a few weeks turned into a bad feeder.

    I'll see if I can find pics of the adults.

    Q: If I buy a snake, is it possible to let it loose in the house for a while every day?

    Following on from that, if a snake were to be let loose, would it eat the gigantic spiders that seem to call my house "home" lately?

    For the first few days they were housed together. I put defrosted pinkies in, one for each snake, it latche on to a pink immediately, swallowed and then grabbed another, I gently detached it from the pink and put it in a small box on its own. A few hours later, some of the babies hadn't fed so I offered it a leftover pink, it was more than happy to oblige.
