He is the combonation of his Mom snake and his Dad Viper's coloring. I wanted to give him a snake name but i couldn't find one to suit him i was thinking Coral becase they have his coloring (orange, yellow and dark brown/black) But it was to girly. anyway i followed a link and an artical on Batesian Mimicry poped up. Batesian mimicry, is the process by which a palatable animal or plant species evolves to mimic an unpalatable animal or plant. I figured it applies to snakes and he has a coral snake coloring sort of so it worked! Anyhow I just wanted to show off my boy!
