Hey all, got a quick question for you. For those that have albinos, how fast do you normally start to see the color change?
I ask because the two albinos from my '03 litter haven't started to yellow up, but I see ads in the classifieds for yearlings that are already showing lots of yellow. The mother is a big yellow snake so I don't think I've got some special albinos that stay white, I fully expect them to yellow up. I do grow my snakes up slower than most, so these babies that are '03s are only 2'. My normal '01 BCI started to get her darker tan/yellow coloration once she got to be about 3' she is just over 4' now.
Does it seem to be a factor more of size than age?

I know each snake is different and what is the case for one is not always the case for the other... I am just looking for some thoughts or experiences to compare mine to.
thanks!!
-April
