I've gleaned a lot of very useful information here pertaining to hondurans, which is a new interest for me. Many of the regulars here have some extraordinary animals too, which is helping me make choices on what I'd like to have.

Will a quality hypo with "clean" parents tend to lose its vivid cloration a bit or develop black (or red) tipping when it is an adult? Can the extremes (ruby red eyed, very light gray/silver, and NO black tipping individuals) be expected to pretty much stay the way they are as babies, with minor ontogenetic changes?

I would really appreciate some clarificaion on this, as I will be getting either a tangerine or tricolor hypo or extreme. It will be kept as a pet, so I am interested primarily in its phenotype, not genotype. I understand the difference in price.

Thanks again... Any photos or advice in choosing an appropriate animal would be most appreciated!
