What do you guys think of this one?

I am not as experienced as many who frequent this forum but I have several clutches under my belt and raised quite a few holdbacks. I hatched this little one last June, I kept this little yellow and a red, both had the heaviest patterns. This yellow one started turning color at about 8 weeks of age, a very dark green color started emerging quickly in about one weeks time. The dark green came in just a tad more afterwards and now it has not changed anymore. The red sibling has not started changing at all which is more to what I am used to. Has anyone experienced a color change at such a young age and/or had one color up such a dark green? I am starting to think it may keep the remaining yellow. Both parents were Sorong type with the male having extreme blue diamonds. Thanks

to help you with your question, but I did want to say that little gtp is one good looking snake! I love that dark green! Do you know if any of the others in that clutch that you may have sold have changed similarly? Just curious.

Thanks,
Ben

It was a very small clutch and I only sold two, they have not started changing yet at all. That is normal from what I am used to. This one is not following any of the normal characteristics (based on my experience).
