Stefan's garters

[Stefan-A]

They've changed colours several times. The photos Daniel posted had them looking beige. Like Gijs and Sabine's babies.

When I got them they were very dark brown, but the smaller one was a little darker than the bigger one. The bigger one had a well-defined dorsal stripe and the smaller one didn't.

As they grew, they practically switched. The smaller one has become lighter and has a much more well-defined stripe. The bigger one has become darker and the stripe is no longer as well defined as it was. The difference is easily seen in the pictures where I've shot them from above.

Now, you're probably thinking that I'm getting the two mixed up and that they haven't really changed, but it's pretty hard to do. It's so easy to tell the two apart, because the smaller one has a couple of fused supralabial scales, which you can see in several of my pictures.

But back to the coloration.. They were brown when I got them, but they started becoming grey a few months ago. The bigger one is slightly more brown than the smaller one.
