We stay fly, no lie, you know this

Hips and thighs, oh my, stay focused. :partyon:

Now that that's out of the way, I have a question. I know that all babies are light colored when they're little. But as they grow up their colors can and probably will change. (I'm talking about Normals btw). So how can you reasonably predict what your little ones will look like when they're older? Adalae has stayed the same colors ever since I got her and she's about 7 months old now. (Give or take - I don't know the exact hatch date) I'm dying to know what she'll look like as an adult, but each shed she looks the same. I'd LOVE IT if she stayed this way forever. But I realize that's unlikely.

So, what should I be looking at to predict her color changes?

Here's the most recent picture of her:

Those colors are very accurate. Pay no attention to my ugly carpet.

gorgeous! my hardwin is colored a lot like her!

Most of the little babies are - that's why I'm askin' mah question.:D

Hardwin is an awesome name BTW.

That BALL python is "BALLIN"! :rofl:

word, man. -lol- And wow, I just connected "ballin" and Ball python so it fits even more. haha, sweet. Apparently you did it first.

I'm just bumping this because no one has answered my question and I don't wanna be ignored. -lol- *pouty face*

I haven't really noticed my normals changing color too much. (big help right? :giggle: ) Maybe a bit lightening or darkening, but nothing significant. Now when they're breeding, I notice a HUGE change in color. Sometimes waayyy light and the next time I look waaaayyy dark. It's awesome to see the changes.

de3finatly a nice looking snake, i thought it was a pastel at first!

mmkay, then let me ask this: Is it likely that Adalae will ever get as dark as Harlett? I didn't have Harlett as a baby so I have nothing to go on.

Adalae:

Harlett:

I don't think he will. I've seen normal baby balls that are greenish and others that are brownish. I think the colors just fade and get a bit darker. But that's just my opinion.

P.S. That other tank looks awesome too! Help me fix mine up!! :D <3

That has to be the cutest picture ever... the momma and baby together. Awesome!! :snake:

Normals tend to darken up as adults to their true color. Most babies are much lighter when hatched then what they turn out to be in adulthood.

Patterns don't change though :P

yeah theyre color will get a little darker as they get older.
