I’m a longtime reptile keeper and I'm looking to buy my first BTS and I had a question about picking babies for color and pattern. Do baby skinks change color or pattern as they age? Are there any colors that as babies tend be another predictable color as adults (i.e. orange maturing to brown)? Can one assume that babies will look largely like their parents as adults? By the way, I’m just asking about northerns and IJs. Thanks!
