Although she doesn't act or appear to be as scarred up, gnarly, old and beat up as some of our other LTC adult females, she was imported in '03 gravid so her age is anybody's guess

How old are the oldest regular albinos? Gotta be some old original homozygous imports from the '90's over 20+ years old? Anyone notice a fading of their yellows over time?

We have a gnarly old LTC female that I bought from a guy who had her for 17 years before I got her, and he said she was just as scarred and beat up looking they day he got her as the day i got her from him...the same size as well...she could be 30+ years old...she is probably our oldest snake, but her normal coloration doesnt seem any different from out 3-5 year old CB adults so who knows? Maybe the coloration of normals isn't that affected by age?

It appears to me that 95% of the color change of a morph happens the first 2-4 years, and after that seems to be negligible...but I guess I'll just have to keep a CB lav, bumblebee, coral glow etc., around for 30+ years before I will know for sure the full extent of morph color change over extreme time
