Adult Amelanistics

[James Beres]

I have a hatchling Amelanistic corn corn. I was wondering what it should look like when it is an adult. I mean what should I expect to see as far as color change?

Now that's an open question!

It totally depends on what she looks like now. Post us a pic and we'll be able to tell you more.

Mine was more pink/red as a baby but has got more orange with age. Generally the yellow pigment becomes more prominent with age, but as princess said we really can't tell you! I'm not sure even with a picture anyone could say for definite what it would look like.

Isn't that half the fun, though?

Show me some of yours then.

Thanks for the help, it makes me even more excited to see the changes as they come. I think my students will be excited also. Anyway, I know that mine will look different but show me some of your pics as well.

Here's the best I could come up with. I got this guy in December 03, as a hatchling. The first pic was taken around Feb of 2004 and the second pic was taken at the end of August 2005. I don't expect a whole lot of color change :cheers:

Ok

Different patterns, but as a juvi, mine had pretty much the same colour scheme, if you like.

1 & 2 - he's about 3 years old here
3 - more recently (6 years)
