Colors From Babies to Adults

[MitsuMike]

Hey I am looking into getting a BRB and just started looking finally after I decided on which species I wanted. Now I was wondering color wise are they like BP's and start to bright up in the first year and then fade after time or what. I want my BRB to be EXTREMELY ruby red. I saw some with the ruby red top and white sides and belly and it looks hot but I don't need that as long as the ruby red is a brilliant color.
Babies of BRB's (normals) seem to range from a light orange or tan color to a dark black/red.
I guess the best why to get some answers is by examples so here are some babies:





Now would these color babies get the white side and ruby red top or what? Then I know there is a more paler one in the pics, what about him?

Also can ppl post up pics of their BRB's as babies and then now??

THANKS!!!

Could it be that the lighter looking babies' pictures were just took with flash while the others were not? I notice that my snakes look totally different if flash is used.

Yea I saw that looking at David Colling's pics. But all of these are without flash. haha.
I have my eye on 2 pairing David is working on now. Were introduced on the 23rd of Jan. Just need to know how much do the babies change in color while entering adult hood. I mean I don't wanna buy a BRB and it looks good as a baby and then I'm unhappy with it down the road.

This is actually something I also wondered. I don't really think that BRBs "brown out" like ball python from what I have observed. But I am also not sure if they change colors from neonates to adults.

I think they color up a little more as they age but I don't think they "brown out". If anything I would think they get more red.

I was thinking around the same lines but I didn't want to think that and get a nice red baby and have it pale out. haha.
I was looking at David Colling's page and he posted up some pics of babies from clutches and how they turned out.
I think I'm just gonna end up talking to him and saying this is what I want, find me a baby female to match it.

I will be looking for more of a color along the lines of the 3rd pic but just a little later on. Can't afford having a BRB just yet. But in a few months it's gonna me on.

BTW have you picked up your BRB yet??
