I have a mali who was born in october, 2003. I am pretty sure he's male and I was wondering when he'll turn Yellow and black or some other bright color.

P.S.- Sunfox- when did Ra Change colors? How old is he now? The reason it that I hope mine looks like Ra someday. He looks great!

Ra started getting some black on the sides of his neck and some yellow spotting on his back at about a year and a half old. He will be 2 years old on Aug. 24, and has really started adding a lot of black and yellow to his body recently. I think their colours really start coming in as they begin to reach sexual maturity (at least the beginnings of it, puberty I guess ).

I hope this helps

my mali started getting his yellow at about 1.5 years, and he's gonna be 2 in oct/nov (not sure exactly) he is just starting to get his full black, starting with the back of his neck and now his head.

so i'd say atleast a year, maybe less if he grows quik.

hope that helps
