Well how old are they usually when this starts? Mine just turned a year in feb

It starts from hatchling but the nicer the pastel, the less they brown out. As the snake gets older expect it to turn more brown!

This is sad lol... Only pastels do this right?

Actually a lot of morphs do this. It tends to happen in some cases. The higher quality animals tend to stay lighter colored but that's never a guarantee.

Fires on the other hand tend to get brighter! So if you want something to stay bright, get something like a firefly! :D

Or expect to spend a ton of money on a very high quality animal! :O

Lesser Platinums also brighten up as they get older.

Albinos don't brown out. LOL Just thought I'd throw that up.

Even super pastels lose some of their brightness when they get older.

I'm sure your snake is fine, but will lose some of it's brightness as it ages.
