2017 female Specter corn snake for sale. She is 16″ long, eating frozen/thawed pinky mice. A common pattern feature of many serpent species is eye color that is adjacent to similar facial color and pattern, so as to initially render the eye(s) undetectable by prey and predator. I’ve noted on numerous occasions, when photographing snakes, that when I move to attempt a different angle pose of a snake, their head follows my movements. BUT when I put the camera in front of my face, most of them do not follow the motion of the camera. The untested deduction is that perhaps many animals don’t necessarily recognize prey or predator if they cannot discern its eyes? Having facial pattern that continues onto the eye is an ideal way to partially conceal an animal’s eyes. Boa Constrictors are perhaps the most poignant example of eye concealment via lateral facial stripes that are not interrupted by a stripe-less eye (look it up on the Internet via querying Boa constrictor eye).

Two adult Boas we had a decade ago here at SMR. Note the facial stripe continuing onto the eye, as camouflage for the eyes.
