    What holds its color best as it ages? Toffino, candino, camarillo, lav. albino, etc..

    I am not well-versed in morphs or genetics. I am looking for another BP. I thought I wanted a banana, but learned that they do not hold their color well as they age, the lavender fades and they accumulate dark spots, and apparently there is no good way to know what they will look like when they mature.

    What is a good morph to look for that holds is lavender color well as it ages? I am not sure the difference between them all, but I like the looks of the banana, coral glow, toffino, candino, lavender albino... They are all gorgeous as babies, but it is hard to find adult pictures of all of them. Which holds its color the best as it ages? What would you guys recommend?

    BTW I did try to search on this and could not find anything...

    Gorgeous. They aren't too spendy either. I like it. I wish they had the bright lavender but they are still really pretty.

    The thing is with like all those morphs you named they are ones that get better with age or change as they get older but all seem to still look good years later and I'm actually working on that project the banana enchi spider cinnamon

    I'm personally not a fan of lessers but I believe it's the nuclearbee I really like and it has butter tho not lesser but they would do the same thing I'd think

    Lavender albinos actually get the lavender color as they age. If you want an adult lavender snake id go with a lav albino
