The best indicator of what the baby blue-tongue will look like as an adult, is the parents. The pattern will remain constant throughout their life, but will tend to become "blurred" as they age in many animals. The color can change alot during the first year, but not in predictable ways. Some tend to get brighter, while others seem to get duller. In my experience, the vast majority end up looking VERY similar to their parents as far as color goes. Of course if the parents are very different from each other, the offspring will be less predictable.
