Quote:Do Pine snakes change colour as they mature?

I found that when I was around snakes, I sensed a very peaceful atmosphere....a bit difficult to describe, but totally pleasant. Restful but aware is the best way I can describe it... a unique experience, compared to being with another animal.

Pine snake colours do deepen a little, but I have no idea what to expect from these ones. Daniel is the wild colour and has a pink under colour with brown and black over it. Rosie lacks the dark pigments so he is pink, a very pretty shade of pink. The babies have the pink under colour with brown over it, but they seem to lack black. I checked old pictures and Daniel had black pigment from birth. So these babies are different and I do not know how much their colour will come in.

Snakes are peaceful. They are quiet and they only eat when they are hungry. They spend much of their time sleeping in the sun or sleeping in a den. If two make snakes are "fighting" no one gets hurt. They push each other a little and one will leave. They are gentle with each other when they breed. I know there are some more aggressive species, but most are pretty nice. (Not counting King Snakes, they are a bit wacky and have been known to bite themselves).
