Do some morphs hold their colors into adulthood better?
Most of the pictures I see are of hatchlings, but I know often with age, those patterns can fade or brown out, etc.
1. Are some morphs/genes more prone to this dilution effect than others? For example, bumble bee comes to mind as one that can brown out. But a pure white BEL, I'd imagine is going to stay white.
2. Breeders would tell me that of course their particular high quality genes are more resistant to this effect. And, if I could see the adult I'd tend to believe them. Is it true that some lines are better at preserving the original beauty?

I presume you're referring to Royals ... My HC Albinos seem to have stayed exactly the same over the years ...my Snow Boa is actually getting more colourful and so even more beautiful as he ages ... he's approaching 6 years old now

Would lessers and mojaves get better?
Which ones tend to get worse, in your opinion?

Google as many examples of the morph that you're interested in getting, and add the word "adult" to your searches to help filter through all the baby pics. Deborah got you started off in the right direction with plenty of examples. As far as what looks cool, that's really up to the person looking at them.
With lessers (or butters) and mojaves, there is a loooot of variety within the single gene - especially with lessers/butters!
I'm personally not a fan of adult mojos or lessers, but some of their combos are awesome looking, even into adulthood.

Re: Do some morphs hold their colors into adulthood better?
I've seen lesser and fire combos that got better with age.
I would say that Axanthic, pastel and banana lead the list of ones that don't seem to age as well.

Depends on your definition of "better". Lessers tend to get paler, so if you like high contrast snakes versus bright snakes, that's not necessarily better.
