This 2010 Female Snow Kastanie is now 23″ long and eating frozen/thawed, large fuzzy mice. Her depth of colors is great for her age, but will deepen more with age. She is the second generation product of pairing a Snow to a Kastanie Bloodred (aka: Rosy Bloodred), so she is also possibly het for Bloodred. All mutations in this snake are inherited recessively; Snow Snow (Amel & Anery), and Kastanie.
