One of the few Naja I haven't kept before and would like to. Can anybody here tell me if they stay pretty much the same color they are as babies, or do the more orange appearing babies change color or deepen to a more red color as they age?

You need to see the parent stock, they come in many shades from a dark yellow to a nearly blood red

Hey Cobrafan, I got a 04 Red Spitter from Diamond Reptile Breeders that was a deep red with a steel blue/black throat band when he was a neonate. To this day, he has only darkened to a blood red color and looks awesome at about 4 1/2 feet. Feisty little buggers too. They have a great bloodline.
