Pic 1: "Babe" just shed and i wanted to see her colors. i have no clue what colors she will eventually be but im hoping she will end up on the orange to orange/red side. i measured her shedding and its about 34 1/2" long.

Pic 2: "Chita" has only shed once for me but he is getting bigger and gaining nice size. after much asking around and researching ive come to the conclusion that he is showing great promise for the "Ted Thompson" stripe or the "Candy" stripe. he is for sure and aberrant pattern. still dont know what color he will end up either. hoping that he stays either yellow or orange.

let me know what you think everyone thanks for reading.

Both look great! The top pic looks more on the red side so it's possible it may get a little darker with age (which I like). The orange one could just appear to be a larger version of what we see now, or...who knows LOL??? As Cliff mentioned, knowing what the parents looked like helps, otherwise it's just a question of wait and see.
Whenever I have a litter of rainbow boas, I always let them shed at least twice before putting them up for grabs. I've seen some tremendous variations within the same litter, that weren't so obvious at birth. I find time makes a big difference with these guys, at least with the ones I'm working with.
Would you believe these two are litter mates? The lighter one, (anery) pictured on the left, is the SAME animal pictured as an adult in the thread below this one. Talk about change with age!
