Lavender

The first specimens of this new colour variant hatched unexpectedly in 2005 in the collection of David Turcotte.

As hatchlings, they already have clearly visible lavender colours and purple pupills and tongue, but the belly is dark, almost black in color. If the juveniles have red colors, they begin to fade in the first six months. After the first year the red color completely disappears.

During this period the dark belly colour also begins to fade and then disappear completely over the first 2-3 years.
