    Question about adult colors

    This is my new Coral Albino Boa - what can I expect his adult colors to look like. Will he maintain the orange coloring or will he be almost all whitish looking?? Just curious.

    Thank you

    Re: Question about adult colors

    Boas gain yellow as they age, the body will turn more yellow and in albinos specifically the orange tones may fade. Sometimes the saddles will turn white and the tail will get lighter, sometimes they hold onto their oranges into adulthood, it's variable. Beautiful boa! He looks like he will hold some nice color.
