How many of you think she will hold her color to adulthood? She is a light honey color throughout her body. I know she's a norm, but wanted everyones opinion on this. She is the first BP I've had in 7+ years. And I'm going to be using her in my Lemon Pastel project because of her crisp, clean pattern and color. Is she a definite keeper?

I would guess by the unusually light color of her eyes that she will stay lighter than normal. She'll definintely brown out a little as she gets older, but I think she'll go great in a pastel project, or any project for that matter.
The questions isnt weather we think she is a keeper or not. The question is do you like her and do you think she's a keeper??
Yeah, I think she'll pop out some awesome babies myself. Hopefully she doesn't brown out too much, and if I'm lucky stay the same color(not likely though 
). I was also talking to a reptile pet store owner about her, and when I had told him she has silver eyes his reply was "She's just getting ready to shed". I had told him different afterwards but it didn't sound like he agreed all to much. I hadn't managed to locate a male like her, but am still looking. I'm just hoping if bred together I will get somewhat identical babies. IMO to the thread above, I really belive she is a definite keeper. I was just wondering on your guys'/girls' opinions.

IMO i would keep her. i've had some ball pythons retain their color as they mature and i've also had some brown out quite a bit. i can see what you mean about the silver color in her eyes. i've never seen that before. when you breed her, if her offspring inherit the silver in their eyes. do let me know, i'd love to get one from you. if you're lucky (which i hope you are) she'll keep her color. i have a nice female here that i thought was going to brown out but has only gotten better. i have plans of breeding her to a pastel. so the best of luck to you.
