one of mine are going through his color change and he started out yellow... he is now turning a nice color of green, but he has alot of red scales coming in too, and some of the tips of the scales that are turning green are red... its a really nice color of red..
i was wondering if this was normal... i know we dont have a red adult yet and i'm sure this will not be "the one" but i havent seen any others doing this... so whats the deal???

ideas? opinions?

I've seen quite a few yellow babys pop up with red scales late in their color changing process. I have never seen any retain them. Here is a photo of Damon's het alibno chondro going through it's "red mite phase" color change.

I've also seen many non het albino chondros go through something similar.

i forsee them being perminant... it does look really cool though... i sat their the other night determined to get some pics of it buy every time i pushed my button to focus my camera he would move... ohh well...

hey, you never know. Here are some chondros I can remember that retain some of their red baby patterns

Both these lines are nutorious for producing some very unique and one of a kind chondros. Any background on your kid?

Good luck and keep us posted.
