I've always wanted a pair of them! Do they keep the red color into adulthood?

Bob, great explanation down below! I really enjoyed reading thread. It is very interesting to hear some of the more educated guys in the hobby and their opinions on all subjects. I was just being a tricolor enthusiast and posting a few pics of Lystrophis pulcher because it was mentioned below.

Once again, Thank you and everyone else smarter than me for the great reading material!
