liquid color enhancer?

I saw that awhile ago. I actually asked about it on here, but I can't for the life of me find the thread.

The conclusion was basically that it might work a tiny bit, but who knows if it's safe, and it's probably not worth it.
 
I notice they don't have a lavender colored spray. I'm not buying it. LOL.

Seriously, I doubt this stuff works. Corns are beautiful anyway, without nasty sprays that have god-knows-what kind of chemicals or other harmful substances in them.
 
i wouldent use it either. it would be nice to get a little bit more orange though :nope: if anyone knows of more natural ways to enhance color development i would like to hear it :)

Feed your feeder mice nothing but carrots, and dried tomatoes? :shrugs::rofl:
 
To my opinion, these products, if they work, would work only with animals that assimilate carotenoids as an important part of their coloration. From what we see of cornsnake mutations, their coloration is very likely based mostly on pigments synthesized by animals, which excludes carotenoids. Most mutations we know respond as expected from an enzyme or hormone inhibition, but there's always a possibility...

There are hundreds of carotenoids, and very few are used by reptiles as tegumental pigments. Plus, just because you supplement a reptile with a certain carotenoid, doesn't mean it will store it as a skin pigment, it may be metabolized into something else. But if I had the product here, I would probably try it.
