>>So what you are saying is that besides for making an "educated guess" based on the parent's appearance there are no indicators in the individual babies that I can look for that would tell me which ones are more prone to brown out?

pretty much! I've seen some very light babies that turned quite dark surprisingly.

>>Is this the same with the speckling that I see? Will clean babies eventually speckle up or is this something I can make a better estimate of by looking at the individual when it is young?

Actually the speckles are set at birth, they might show up a little more as the snake gains contrast but they won't actually get more speckles, a clean baby will be a clean adult.

Happy hunting!
