    Morph that loses it's flare when aging?
    IMO it's the pastel first and then the spider.

    Just my opinion though.

    Your thoughts?

    when they grow up they get less and les silver and some even end up looking almost normal

    I think they look better as they age but that's just me.

    I think the Silver Bullet would be the one loosing it's flare.

    Well here is my contention with the whole thread.

    Bare with me here, but ALL animals look the "Best" when they are babies.

    In BPs, this is especially true.

    One cannot really expect anything to look as cute or as young/youthful/etc when you get older.

    Things fade, things sag, things... grow hair... etc...

    I think that since most people only see the photos of baby BPs, that this mindset is forming that they look "uglier" with age.

    I disagree completely.

    They just mature into the tones in which they were destined to take.

    So there. :P
