What are the colors of corns that change when the become adults???

SnowflakeMadiera Feb 04, 2006 09:27 PM

I have a creamsicle and a snow right now. I love the fact that as they grow up and after every shed they change colors. I wont know what they will look like...untill...well...they grow up,lol. But I was wondering what are all the colors in corns that change as they get older? I would really love to know.

Are you asking which colors become present as they age? I would say yellow pigment causes most changes. It becomes apparent in snows, anerys, and is even the reason for the orange coloration. Every color on a snake changes or becomes more vivid with age. Your snow will look completely different when it is grown.

I included a picture of Hope as a baby and her about 2 months ago to give you an idea of what changes can occur.

Well, I was asking what colors change the most as the muture. I know all of them do change in some way. But I just love not knowing what they are going to look like as they mature. So, I was just wondering what colors change the MOST. By the way....Hope is even more beautiful now....but she was a cute lil booger when sh was a baby,lol.

I was wondering about Corral snows...I think that is what they are called,lol. What about them. I have seen very little pictures of them. But the pictures I have seen are when they are adults, but they were pretty. I was wondering about how much do they run, and does anyone have pictures of them as a baby and an adult? I was also wondering how much do they change as they muture???

How long until an Okeetee gets more vibrant? My daughter's(about) 6 month old has more orange coming out, for sure, but her red saddles also are looking a bit darker. How does this progress for an Okeetee? Here's a current pic... (hard to tell with this flash pic)
