atb id?

so i was cruising through wikipedia and found a picture of an atb w/ some amazing colors i haven't seen. i dunno much about atb's and their different patterns, so i was just curious into what type this pattern/color is, if such a thing.

They are called halloween phase because of the bright orange coloring on their backs.

is that a permanent color? or will it tend to fade or dull as they get older?

Its funny, but i dont think ive ever seen an adult halloween phase before. But that example sure is a pretty one:gj: Amazons are lots of fun to work with;)

That is a really sweet lookin Amazon.

You probably have. Adults tend to lose the orange and just turn grey and brown.

so they tend lose those bright colors

Yep. They end up looking pretty much like normals.

bummer

I guess that's why they tend to be cheaper then the reds
