Question about color....

DarciGibson May 16, 2003 11:17 AM

My question is how color changes in bloods from Hatchling to adults. Do they intensify in color or dull down with age? Does it depend on subspecies or not?

Thanks,
Darci

All three species generally go through a colour change from hatchling to adults. They all usually intensify with colour, but that doesn't always mean they will be better looking as adults. I have heard of ppl having amazing babies that grew up to be less then attractive adults (and vice versa), but that all depends on what you call beautiful.

if in doubt, look at the parents, look at the hatchlings, pick the best hatchling and hope for the best!
