Ball Python Morphs as Adults? Do they still look as nice?

[Chris Behof]

I'm just now starting to look into some ball python morphs as potential projects.

The ones I typically see for sale are very young. They look great for the most part and are nice and bright and really catch your eye.

My question is how do they typically hold up in the 3+ year old range? Do they dull up and lose their luster?

Are there any specific morphs to avoid that tend to lose their beauty with age?

The main morphs I am considering are desert based morphs and things like tigers (enchi x desert) as well. I also am a big fan of the pieds.

Thanks for the insights!


Pics would be most helpful too.
