When do colors come?

Black_Wolf Jul 13, 2006 07:50 PM

I've had my Jungle carpet for almost a month and she's 1 1/2 months old. Got her from Rerptile Ranch. She hasn't shed for me yet, but it more than happy to eat. I feed her weekly (on fuzzy mice till i get the pinky rats). I was wondering, with that feeding shedule, about how many sheds for her colors to actually start showing? I believe she's only shed once.

I believe jungles exhibit their brightest colors at 2-3 years of age.
