Produced by Terri Bienkowski, this hatchling Rhyno Ratsnake Rhynchophis boulengeri began life like all neonates of this spceies (tan or brown), but the brown slowly changes to green through maturity. This species is aptly named for their remarkable rostral appendage. A gene mutation that adds a blue tone renders some of them being somewhat turquoise, but most of the members of this species in captivity mature to be grass green.
