I have seen quite a bit of variation in the rate of darkening in Black Milks, but most of them do eventually get black by the time they are 4-5 feet long.



There is clearly a lineage issue as well. Some lineages get blacker than others. I've seen some 6 footers that showed some pattern but my pair was jet black with no discernible pattern by the time they reached 5 feet. In this photo you can still see some light color on the face, but that eventually disappeared.
