    How do lessers change over time?

    My pastel is holding pretty true to her initial colours, and my fire is getting lighter as she ages, but how will my lesser change? Will he get darker, or will he get darker, or will his colours kind of merge like some kind of crazy melting pot of different chocolates? (I realize the last one wont happen )

    On mine the darker colors get lighter, and the overall color gets less vibrant.

    The female I just got in today is 700g and she has a slight green tint to her color. Don't know if that helps at all but I know it all depends on the snake itself which way it colors with age.

    I think it depends on the Lesser. Mine started out a bright yellow with brown tones, but the yellow is turning to a cream color and the browns and flames are turning into a greenish, corroded bronze color. I love his new coloration!

    I bet there are Lessers out there that look more like Butters, though: more yellows, browns, and tans.

    Har har.

    I actually do see a difference between Butters and Lessers, though maybe I'm just crazy....
