Do these guys turn into regular garden phase as adults? I remember reading somewhere the red/orange on the back and yellow on the head fade out as they mature. Does anyone have any adults that were halloween phase as neonates that retained their colors? If so, I would love to see pics. Thanks in advance! Billy

Hi Billy, As far as I can tell,I concider them Garden Phase. As you know Garden's come in many shade's of color Creamy White/ Bright White/Tan/Brown/Dark Brown/Black/Gray and other's with diamond/spade pattern's somtime's interlaced with Red ,Orange, Yellow line's fine line's and thick line's.Have you ever seen the photo gallery for Garden phase at corallus.com check it out ! !Sometime's I'll read a post where it say's im getting a new A.T.B. and they'll say it's (ONLY A GARDEN)! !When i read something like that i just figure they dont know the BEAUTY of the Garden phase Amazon Tree Boa.You put a fresh shed A.T.B. out in the sun or hold it under some light,you get all color's of the Rainbow ! !But you know that.I have 0.0.3 Halloween/Garden phase A.T.B.'s 8 month's oldand all still holding there red outline's and yellow under the chin and cheek's.But the ground coloer seem's to be fadeing slightly. Hay Id Love to see some pic.'s of adult's also maybe we,ll get some .

Hay, Speaking of Garden phase I bought 1.1 W.C. L.T.C proven Breeder's, last year she had 7. I got them about a Month ago from Jim at Cool Critter's by L.J. and he said they had been together and she was possibly Gravid.And They are Beautiful ! !
She had a complete shed in the bag on arrival,for the last two week's she's been spending 90% of her time on the hot side 92 degrees, at night she soak's in her water bowl for a few hour's then she goes to the under tank heater at 88 degrees.I Think she's gravid but i dont see no visible bulge, do females show this behavior somtime's thinking they are gravid ?What do you think?
