Just curious if there are ways to tell if babies will eventually brown out as adults. I've seen many colorful babies but most adults seem to have similar brown coloration. Any telltale signs?
Thanks!

I've had the opposite experience. I've gotten babies that I was sure were just normals and then they turn into really pretty adults.

there isn't any sure fire way to know. Looking at the parents and older siblings can be a good indication at the adult colors of baby dragons. Some are more normal looking as babies and color up as they age, some do the opposite. IT can also be partly due to levels of UVB, diet, type of lights used in the cage etc, as well as genetics.
