What doesn't brown out?

[stevepoppers]

I'm looking down the line and wondering what I should get to breed over the next few years, and something I'm pretty concerned about is the snake still looking cool when it's 20 years old. I was getting excited about axanthics, but then I hear they fade. What I'm considering right now is cinnamons and mojaves. (Who isn't?) What is fairly eye-popping and stays that way?

lavender albinos, ghosts, caramels, good examples of lessers/butters, and spiders. spiders and caramels are already brown but some spiders that hold their color well turn out goldish. Some caramels as adults get a nice tinge of purple which is awesome. I know they are brown, but imo get nicer with age.

Carpet pythons!!!! LOL! ~Caylan.S.~

Well, not being brown isn't the thing. It's holding the color well, or looking cool with age.

I'm seeing some axanthic-like ghosts. Would that be the bank-breaking Desert Ghost, or just a grey Ghost?

I know nothing about them!

Fires (het lucy) and Vanillas are what you are looking for as a genetic ingredient to keep "browning" out to a minimum.

Hope that helps

All the white snakes hold their color. Lavenders are the only clear examples I can think of that get BETTER with age.

Recessive pattern morphs are nice: pieds, clowns, g-stripes. Even if the yellowish parts do brown out, they're still spectacular.

They'll actually reduce it in the morphs that do brown out?

I'm now looking into Leucistic recipes because I found what the super Mojaves look like. Not white enough for me, but I do really like the Mojaves for themselves anyway.

Aaand, I think I want to make a Mystic Potion. Are Mystic's "gettable?" I'm probably in over my head at that point, though.

I do already have a het Pied. Gotta have a Pied.
