    I personally have liked the way my Mojave and Mystic have aged. The Mojave has lightened a little, while the Mystic has stayed bold. I would add that the Congo gene helps to maintain good colors. I've seen the Congo gene keep Pastels from browning out, keep Butters brighter, and it has even helped the Fire to be better (http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...119-Congo-Fire).

    Like most have said, it depends on what you think looks better. I second the suggestion to look at as many examples as possible.

    Here are a couple pics of my Enchi Hypo. She is 1700 grams, proven, and over three years old. I think her colors are still very nice. I've included a few pics so you can see it isn't the background or the flash that is making her look bright. She just is bright.

    Desert Ghosts IMO are one of the best if not the best gene that truly gets better with age!

    My axanthic as a baby was black and white pretty much and now as a semi-adult he's brown and black with a tiny bit of white in there. He faded his bright white color fast.

    I can really only speak to my experiences with pastel... They do brown out, but still look cool. As to bananas, I personally like the color change they undergo.

    I've got a hypo bumblebee who seems to get better with each shed, but isn't in adulthood yet.
