Can't resist a cute face...

That's great.
They are little eating machines.
Here's something to watch for.
Watch her eyes, when she's on the hunt her pupils will constrict as she zeros in on the prey.
They get so focused when it comes to food.

I noticed her eyes, which usually appear solid red, became much paler while she was feeding- I could actually see pupil and iris.
Tried to get some photos of her a few minutes ago- got mixed results because she is so tiny, she didn't really like being in even the relatively weak evening sunshine, and my camera isn't very good.

She has a lot more color than I can capture. In some light/moods the yellow portions of her body and head have an iridescent greenishnes to them that is hard to describe.

Just the opposite happens when Amy (albino plains) eats. Once he gets the food in his mouth, his eyes go from their normal pink, to blood red. Top of his head and areas lacking pigment around the neck turn red too.

You just did describe it. It's iridescence. A common phenomenon among snakes, especially young healthy garters after a recent shed. Indigo snakes show it well too. All my black-headed concinnus babies have it reflecting of the top of their heads. Tends to fade with age though.

That is an awesome gorgeous baby you have there.
