Snaeskin patterns/colours

[ml29]

I was just wondering at what age/size do snakeskins show their full patterns and colours.

Hi:

4" size; which is normally attained in about 10 months...

Highly variable from thumbnail size to almost full grown. Snakeskins tend to test ones patience when developing color and pattern.

sunshine;
Can't agree more with you, bro. They tend to be a lil bit stingy in showing off their true colours...........

Ok here is a pic of my snake skin in this pic i have had it for about 6 months and I was told it was 3 months old when I bought it so I think its 11 months old.

I'll try to get a up dated pic of it in the next few days.

when i first got it it had only small amount of markings on its face and just coloured streaks through its fins. at present the blue on it is now at alittle past the line on its body that you can see in the pic (can't at the moment rember what its called)

Thanks for the replys, I was getting a little worried. Some of mine are about 3", I got them of sls in september at the 2" size. The colours are only showing on the fins and around the edge of the body. I guess its a waiting game.
