What age/weight/length do balls start to brown. Head spot?

[interloc]

Hello. 2 questions with this one. Like the title says when does browning out start to occur or is there any signs on a snake that will indicate if there will or wont be browning? And do any of you find this head spot to be indicating something else?



Thanks for looking. This "normal" baby ball is really confusing me.

I think the browning out doesn't start at a certain period but actually happens over time with every shed. So probably as soon as they shed the first time.

As for the head spot i don't really know but i wouldn't think its anything special.

Edit: Some morphs brown out more or less than other morphs though. So it depends.

I thought normals didnt have head spots? But i guess it varies snake to snake.

Like I said, I don't know for sure, but thats just a faded spot and not a clearly defined spot so i wouldn't think it would mean anything.

Normals also have a LOT of variation.

Interesting head spot... Im familar with it usually with my pieds and fires...
Things like that can vary per snake. Normals come in LOTS and LOTS of different shades, blushing, contrasts, patterns etc. Im sure others have normals with this kind of head spot as well.
Your snake also has a nice reduced pattern and barely any "alien heads" that I can see.
He/she would be worth dinking around with in the future.

Im a bit confused on your "browning out" question...I guess I really only hear people taking about this with pastels mostly.
All snakes will differ in color as they grow older but I wouldnt say a normal "browns out" I guess. I would say they color change slightly as adults after maybe a couple years or so depending on the snake and size? Maybe I just dont get the question lol. Anyways good luck with him!
