They change a little with each shed. The more you feed them, the faster they become adults. I have a pair of Mexican Baird's Rat Snakes that took almost two years to change and a have a Texan that starting looking like an adult in less than a year.
Just give nature a little time and you should have a nice looking pair of snakes.

I like the looks of the babies more myself. I like raising the babies too.

They look like big healthy snakes. You may actually see some good color in the first year. Glad to see some Mexis making it into our area.
