Looking at pictures of snakeskin guppies, it’s easy to see how they got their name. Snakeskin guppy species have markings similar to a snake, or some may have tiger-like patterns. The Yellow Snakeskin Leopard Guppy is one of the most vividly-coloured varieties, even in females. Males display a snakeskin-pattern colour across the entire body and fins, with females displaying their colour in only their fins!
