Beta-carotine is a short term color enhancement, so if it stops in their diet, the colors will fade. If we ate about 1lb of carrots a day, after a week or so we would start to color yellow-orange, and sweat it from our hands and feet. 
If the animals you are feeding it to are for your own viewing pleasure, then go for it! People feed spirulina to their arrow frogs, etc, to heighten color in them. If you are going to be selling them with beta-carotine heightened colors, I would think it would be ethical to make sure the buyer is aware of this prior to purchase.
