    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.

    Aww, thanks!
    I think she's adorable *despite* being an albino.
    Jay picked albino- I was leaning toward her normal colored siblings, but as they were all lively and robust, and this one was the largest and liveliest of the group, well, I obviously couldn't protest too much!

    Of the albinos I've seen her, Amy has to be my favorite. The irony that she turned out to be a he is kind of a plus as far as I'm concerned- boy named Sue and all that stuff!

    Shame that the iridescence tends to fade as they get older- I'm hoping her yellows will intensify as she ages if we're going to lose the green flash.

    Heh, she's swimming again. LOVES the water and she's very active despite going into a brief, flailing panic whenever she is first started. She's a fierce little thunderbolt so far, quite different in temperament from quiet, patent Abby.

    Oh, I'm sure the yellows will intensify. Well, maybe.
