Colors on YB Pied

[Awesomethepossum]

YB Pieds, aka "Pumpkin Pieds", are very cool! Like most they loose some color with age, the oranges fading to more of a burnt yellowish. I think they look great as babies and adults! Billy has an 843 gram 2017 YB Pied (het lavender but that wont affect it visually) up for sale that is a good example of how they age:

A little too pricey for me..but wow, she's beautiful! Is that why it's so high? I know weight has something to do with it too, but I see such a massive variation in pied prices. Some of the normal pieds I've seen for sale have that orange/yellow as hatchlings as well, which confused me.

I haven't really dabbled in ball python morphology yet. The seller advised me on female pairings, if I ever wished to pursue breeding him. He was fairly eager about it, which I'm not sure why?

But anyway, Dante is actually going through his first shed with me. He just went through the blue phase yesterday and is hiding away in his shed cave. I'm looking forward to seeing him all cleaned up!
