So which morphs get better with age?

We all know a lot of morphs colors get duller with age. So now I'm hearing some of the newer morphs actually improve with age. I'm still pretty new and I'm just trying to learn as much about the different morphs as possible. So in your opinion, which morphs do you think actually look better as adults?

Desert Ghost :)

This video explains it better then I can...

The snakes shown all have good size on them, so you can see the "adult" coloration/pattern

This is an often asked question. Almost all morphs change as they age. Better is in the eye of the beholder. For example... most animals tend to darken as the get older. This works for some from my point of view. Purple passions darken as the get older. Looks better to me, better contrast. Pastels darken, looks like crap. I have one pastel that has darkened to the point she looks greyscale. I think she is cool looking. Everyone else says she is butt ugly. Highways lighten, doesn't look bad but i wished they stayed darker.

very true !!

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the Beholder.

I think what bothers some people is that what attracted them to the hatchling in first place, does often change. Many hatchlings look like glow sticks, just amazing, but then dull out.
Its always best to try to find some adult examples before choosing.

Fire, orange dream and enchi are also commonly considered morphs that get better with age

Hypo CG Lesser Leopard ;)

Usually morphs with OD, Fire, Desert Ghost, Hypo, YB, Vanilla will get better as they age.

I feel like Ivorys get better with age. They clean up and the "dirty" pattern pretty much goes away.
