I love my new snake, its very friendly and looks very pretty. I've been told its a male but I think I'll get it sexed for myself, because petco seemed unsure. They sold him as an 8 month old, orange ghost. I've been looking at pics online and honestly, he doesn't look like any of the pics I've seen so far lol but because I'm an amateur enthusiast, I figured I'd ask some people that really know their stuff.

Does the ghost effect come in more as they get older?

Is it just me, or does it seem more brown than orange? Adversely, does the color come in more as they get older?

I'm pretty sure it is at least a ghost of some kind, it does have that shed look in the color, but not dramatically like I've seen in most pics. Heres a pic of him.



btw, just as a crazy little bit of info of this guy, I got him for $75! He was originally priced at $300, but I was told he'd been in the shop around 4 months, so they had to put a 75% markdown on him. I couldn't resist for the price, it looked ghost enough for me to take a shot with $75. In short, I got an incredible deal (I hope). Even if not, I love him all the same.

Thanks for listening to my dribble lol what do you guys think?
