 Question

I have a very young red tail boa, and when ever it feeds i noticed that her head seems to darken quite a few shades. I haven’t taken her into the vet yet, but I was hoping i could find the answer here. So if anyone knows why this happens, I would greatly apprecitate some incite.

I heard that changing colors means they are just absorbing heat or reflecting it. I don’t think its anything to worry about its just what they do........ hopefully im not wrong thats what i have heard!
