Do jungle carpets get brighter with age?

[djansen]

Yes and no. I don't have any jungle carpets myself, (I keep queensland carpets) but I know a few people who have them and have had a chance to see them as they grow. They certainly get brighter from their hatchling colors, hatchlings are notoriously dull. I've usually seen them peak at around 3 or so years, then start getting darker as they get older.

thanks, i was looking at some hatchlings and they looked pretty dull like you said. but the parents were pretty bright.
