I see a lot of baby boa constrictors with a dirty and darker pattern and color, especially a dirty head. But I haven't seen very many adults with dirty heads... in fact, many adults look smooth and lighter colored. I've also not found if anyone did a "before vs after" pic comparison of the same snake as a baby and then as an older animal, so I've been wondering whether baby boas are just dirtier looking, and then maybe all boas become clean as they grow up... Which would be fantastic LOL. I've been specifically looking at jungles and hypos.
I've been avoiding interest in dirty boas, because if it's anything like ball pythons, they're cleanest as hatchlings and only become dirtier and dirtier in pattern as they grow up. But maybe it's the opposite in boas?
Can anyone with personal experience explain if there's any correlation between how they look as babies vs adults? How do boas pattern develop? Also seeing any before and after pics would be nice
