I select my holdbacks based on pattern at a very young age. But based on color, I would have to agree with the others about color changing. You should begin to notice color improvements when the snakes reach 50 grams or so. This is the time I begin to look for desireable colors and get a collection of holdbacks.

Hope this helps.
