So, I know that there are a number of morphs are high color as babies and then change as they mature.

So how soon did/do your babies loose their baby colors?

I have a lovely little low white pied, he's still pretty young but after his second shed he's already loosing his baby high orange and gaining the tans and beiges of a mature pied. He's about 225 grams now.

I also noticed my exquisite cinny girl who just shed is already darkening up, her bright cinnamon/orangey hues being replaced with duller browns and tans. She's still very young and small, only about 175 grams.

I knew it was going to happen, but she took me by surprise to start changing so soon.

My new pastel is dulling out as well. Since I got her on trade, is doesn't bother me as much. She was not as high color as I would have liked to begin with, and now she's browning out fast.

From what I understand, breeding snakes who rapidly loose baby color does not necessarily mean their babies will if you breed them right. So here's to hoping for bright babies in the future!
