Oh my, they are gorgeous! Makes me want to take my BRB out, but it's feeding day so I'll have to pass haha.

So around 18 months they have their adult coloration? My Xango is 9 months now so he's halfway there.

Yup, so I hear. These two are around the same age as Xango, so they'll probably change a lot in the next 9 months or so. Sanji pretty much looked like he does now at around 9-10 months, but his color has become a bit more solid, with his saddles standing out less, and his reddish color has gone up and down between leaning towards red or brown each shed. But his changes should be smaller and more stable now, at 19 months.

Between 18 and 30. Some develop more slowly. I've even had some experience a "dip" in attractiveness as juveniles before going on to become splendid adults.

Some snakes just change forever, too. My ball python will be 10 this year, and it seems like he looks vastly different after some sheds. I've had times where he was a deep, dark chocolate color, times he's been a light tan color, and once where he almost looked axanthic. But Sanji's been staying pretty steady lately, leaning slightly more towards red, but he could still surprise me and change even more as he gets older. He may not be high red, but he's still got a very lovely reddish color, that I hope he'll either keep or improve on in the future.
