    ball python color change

    Any balls get lighter or stay the same as their birth colors besides dark ball pythons and lessers. Pastels & axanthics brown out and het reds stay as dark so what still looks good or relatively the same after birth???

    I've heard fires tend to lighten as they age. Same for caramels. Not sure if the peak but I think both look better after the hatchling stage than right at it. Ghost might be the same.

    Enchi's lighten up - I don't know that I agree that pewters lighten with age. The ones I've seen got darker.

    I've had my morphs since they were babies and only two got a lighter color now that they are adults: My butterscotch ghosts and my albinos.
