What doesn't brown out?

    What doesn't brown out?
    I'm looking down the line and wondering what I should get to breed over the next few years, and something I'm pretty concerned about is the snake still looking cool when it's 20 years old. I was getting excited about axanthics, but then I hear they fade. What I'm considering right now is cinnamons and mojaves. (Who isn't?) What is fairly eye-popping and stays that way?

    lavender albinos, ghosts, caramels, good examples of lessers/butters, and spiders. spiders and caramels are already brown but some spiders that hold their color well turn out goldish. Some caramels as adults get a nice tinge of purple which is awesome. I know they are brown, but imo get nicer with age.

    Well, not being brown isn't the thing. It's holding the color well, or looking cool with age.

    I'm seeing some axanthic-like ghosts. Would that be the bank-breaking Desert Ghost, or just a grey Ghost?

    Fires (het lucy) and Vanillas are what you are looking for as a genetic ingredient to keep "browning" out to a minimum.

    Hope that helps

    All the white snakes hold their color. Lavenders are the only clear examples I can think of that get BETTER with age.

    Recessive pattern morphs are nice: pieds, clowns, g-stripes. Even if the yellowish parts do brown out, they're still spectacular.

    They'll actually reduce it in the morphs that do brown out?

    I'm now looking into Leucistic recipes because I found what the super Mojaves look like. Not white enough for me, but I do really like the Mojaves for themselves anyway.

    Aaand, I think I want to make a Mystic Potion. Are Mystic's "gettable?" I'm probably in over my head at that point, though.

    I do already have a het Pied. Gotta have a Pied. ;)
