    Pied aging pics?

    Do any of you pied owners have aging pics of your snakes? I was just wanting to see how much more white or normal they got on them as they get older. Heck I'll open it up to all morph's. Let's see some baby to adult snake pics.
    Too many snakes to list. Ball pythons, Gtp's and Boa's. It easier to say it that way.

    When it comes to the amount of white, what they are born with is what they'll have for life. Aside from the odd freckle they don't get in more or less white or color as they age.

    Pieds tend to brown out a bit with age, right?

    Pieds will develop black outlines around the patches of white as they get older. Other than that, the white just gets more pronounced and less pink and the pattern tends to stay the same.

    Doesn't every snake brown out a bit once they get older lol?

    I can't see a pied really changing much in terms of color, maybe a shade or two darker as they age but nothing significant. The brighter morphs are the ones that brown out the most and where you notice it.

    Browning out seems to be a BP trait. Bloods and carpet pythons get better and better with age.

    Alan, I've noticed that adult pieds often look quite a bit darker than their younger counterparts. I was hoping that they were just darker to start out with but it seems this isn't the case...
