    Bright baby colors

    Which morphs tend to hold their bright baby colors the best? Still shopping for a bright colored addition....

    I don't know a whole lot about morphs, but I can say this...
    Fire and vanilla are very similar and both known for holding their colors and aging well (at least I believe this is true). I have a vanilla boy who'll be turning 4 this year and his colors have actually improved in my opinion. His blushing is a bit more faded, his tan colors are a bit brighter and he seems to have more "pop" to his contrast.

    But that's just my experience with one particular BP. I'm sure others will be along to help you out too.

    Desert ghost is by far the best morph for holding colors into adulthood, they basically look the same as they did as hatchlings as adults, some combos lighten a bit but I've never seen any other morph comparable. Desert ghost on it's own isn't a super bright snake though, it is an enhancer gene so it will enhance any combo it is added to, on it's own, it looks like a brighter better contrasting normal but once you add it to a simple gene like pastel, it makes a pure yellow and black snake and it will hold its colors into adulthood. I'll add an example picture of one of my adults in a minute.

    Here is just a simple pastel DG, as you can see she is still bright yellow and black just as she was as a hatchling but now shes 3600 grams! Not even a bit of darkening like a typical pastel. DG will have the same affect on whatever combo you add it to. It's obviously my favorite morph for good reason haha, I have quite a few adults and they all look just as good as when they were hatchlings. I will be making all kinds of new DG combos this season, I'm super excited!

    I looked for Desert Ghost on Morph Market but sadly they are out of our price range. Just want a piece of eye candy as a pet..
    Considering a Firefly at this point. I do like Orange Dream but not sure if they may brown out as adults.

    normals don’t lose their color or brown out as adults.

    Re: Bright baby colors

    idk if i would call my bamboo bright, but she is definitely striking. The adults i have seen look very similar to the babies. You can see her in my avatar

    Ya Beat me to it Rufretic lol
    I agree, you can't go wrong with DG! Only downside to it is that it is a recessive gene but I don't think there is any other gene that can top DG.
    Here are a few pics of my Desert Ghosts:

    Bell line DG female



    Male Pastel DG



    Pastel DG breeding my Firefly girl, shows how clean and bright a pastel DG can be into adulthood.

    Re: Bright baby colors

    Here is a pic of my pastel DG breeding my firefly, the difference in color is unreal!
    It i were you I would start saving up some money if you want a nice DG, its worth it to get exactly what you want. The pastel DGs don't brown out like other pastel morphs normally do. Would definitely be some stunning eye candy as an adult

    Orange dream is also very nice, but quality does matter with them for how they hold their color.
