first corn

hello i just got my first corn. the store said it was a hypo corn, but from what i can tell it looks like a miami phase corn to me. my first question is how big do the hypo's or miami phase corns get? my second is do corns stay the same color from hatchling to adult or is there any color change with age. just some questions from a beginner with corns, this is not my first reptile though,
i've had a savahnna monitor, and several different varieties of my local wild caught snakes. any help with the questions will be greatly appreciated. thanks!!
 
Hatchlings do change color as they mature. From what I understand, they generally get more orangy-yellow as they age. My hatchling (a normal) was greyish with red saddles when I got her, and even within the past month I've seen a lot more orange develop in between her saddles, and her color is generally more vibrant. So I'd wait and see how it looks as a yearling. If you're snake is a hypo it will probably end up looking like a normal corn with reduced black (I think. someone else correct me if I'm wrong). Good luck, and congrats on your new snake!
