Which morphs "age" well??
I have recently been looking at lots of different morphs, babies to adults, and have noticed some morphs, in my opinion "age" better. They either get better with age (it seems to be like the orange ghost/hypo and morphs mixed with og, like cinnamon, mojave, etc) I even find some normals age better, keep their color and such.
Obviously I know a lot depends on quality of the gene(s) in the morph, but what morphs, in your opinion, age well.
Also, does anyone have pictures of older/bigger morph snakes? Where is all the 5+ year old hypos, spiders, mojaves, and all the other older morphs? I know there is WOBP 
Thanks everyone

there are quite a few morphs that stay stunning all the way into adulthood.
Piebalds for example. sure, the dark regions get darker, but the white stays perfectly white forever.
also blue eye lucys, black eye lucys, and ivories. also albino and hypo.
darker combos like onyx or gargoyle or enchi mojave also age well.
then there are morphs that can be sort of fixed one way or another. many pastels brown out, also many combos with pastel like bees and lemonblasts. But a very high quality pastel, like citrus pastel or lemon pastel, can fix the problem.
or axanthics, they also brown out a bit, which takes away from the nice silver grey. But somehow fire axanthics tend to stay beautiful, the fire gene seems to fix it.
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.
my favorite music video is online again, its really nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oABEGc8Dus0

Re: Which morphs "age" well??
I like the way mojaves and mojave combos age. Babies are pretty, but adults get this pretty faded color to em.
That's personal preference, though. I love the way adult bumblebees look but they don't all age the same and definitely don't retain the same colors that babies do - I just like how they look when they grow up, too.

My citrus pastel ivory is getting brighter with every shed. When he was born he was slightly darker than a champagne, now he looks like a BEL with just a very few stripes on his head.
My pewter is going more of a dark gray as she ages, which I think is cool, though some people may not care for it.
I have an RDR lesser/platty daddy that is also brightening up as she ages.
