    If I had to pick one from the little I've seen of the adults it would have to be the axanthic's. Some pastel's are very nice as adult's, spider's are always hott in my book I don't think they change much at all.:2cent:

    Spiders look better aged imo. I wish I could find a pastel that looked remotely close to Winston. 2 Months of searching for a pastel has yielded me nothing.

    Just my opinion though.

    Your thoughts?

    Define aging? What's the oldest ball python morph you've seen grow up, out of curiosity? :confused:

    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

    PSSSSSSSSST...wanna know a secret? That's why you get blood pythons!!! They are truly the "fine wine" of the python world...the good ones just get better & better with age! :D ;)

    I will have to disagree with the above statement. I say this because there is one morph that I truly believe looks better and better with each shed. I have yet to see a Caramel Albino that does not look better as an adult. My adult Caramael looks five times better than when I got him at 300 grams, and the Caramels that I hatched this year are nowhere near what they looked like when they hatched. I also have the same feelings about Hypomelanistic animals. All of my adults and yearlings look way beeter than when they were tiny. I just look at it as growing into their beauty.

    In general, most animals do look best as hatchlings, but not ALL of them.
