Curious about color development...

SRX Dec 14, 2007 03:15 PM

I am trying to figure out something and I was wondering if anyone out there in Treeboa land has the experience I am looking for. I am wondering which "look" in newborn garden phase ATBs turn out to be slate grey, not black, not purple, not the hazy tan/purple/grey, but slate grey like the one below. Does anyone have pics of a neonate that turned out like the one below? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Scott

Look for one that has a similar base color to that grey. "Garden" ATBs lose the orange markings that they have as babies but the base color generally stays the same.
