    Bumblebee ball python and browning out? My first ball!

    Hello, I'm new to the forum and to ball pythons, this is my female bumblebee, she's very sweet and great at feeding!
    I was wondering, can you tell just from seeing her coloring right now if she's going to brown out very badly as she grows? She's about 2.5 months old right now.
    She's not very yellow, but not too dark (i think?), anyway, I'm just in love with her!

    Yes. She is going to brown out. They all do.

    Mine will as well.

    That's just a trait of the pastel morph, as far as I'm aware, although most other morphs also do this as well. There are definitely lines of pastel that brown out less than others but I believe all pastels brown out at least a little.

    Most brown out bad. Some lines are not as bad. And then some lines hold some color but all brown to some degree
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Yes, the yellow almost always fades to a brown, but certain lines seem to hold more yellow than others.

    Sometimes it seems that ball python morphs always look less cool as they age.

    Any time pastel is involved there will be browning out.

    Bees all brown out to a degree some more than others

    This the progression of a bee I produced years back from hatchling to 1800 grams.

    LOL Deb, it got COOLER with time! That small browning actually gives it more character!

    That's still an amazing looking adult BB though.
