Thinking about a new addition .

[maximus30576]

I have been thinking about getting my next snake and really like the look of some jungle carpets . I love the bright yellow on black . My question is , do most end up with the brilliant yellow or should i look for a baby that is already yellow . I notice some that are and some are not as babies . I know someone will chime in with more knowledge than me and to them i thank you ...

There's a thread on here with pics on the ontogenic change of carpets that might help... a few of us have had babies go through some dramatic colour changes as they got older.

But to answer the question, no not all of them end up bright yellow. If you want a bright yellow on black carpet your best buying one that is already that colour and just hope that it does'nt dull down with age.

If you do research on breeders you will find ones that have stock that are brighter and hold colour for longer.

Found the thread , thanks red ink . Does seem as if the yellow babies are more expensive , i would love the snake no matter , but i really like the yellow so im thinking i just pay the extra and hope the colors get brighter and not dull down ..
