I have the chance to buy a nice hypo brooks that has orange saddles and fairly even yellow cross bands and is about 36 inches long and still pretty thin. Judging by its size, it is likely still young, so will the orange stay or it will it most likely fade into a uniform yellow? It looks great as is. Thanks for the help

It's really hard to say without seeing the animal. At that lenght, I would say it's possible to keep some of the orange, but if it's a yearling growing into his skin........the lengthening stage, I would say it's more likely to end up as a nice yellow hypo. I've got a male with nice orange and he's about 4.5'. I guess I got lucky. Post a pic if you can.
