Looking at the parents is good advice as to what the hatchlings will look like as an adult.
Good Luck,

Thanks for this, Terry. I guess since I'm only looking for pet-keeping I'm not too concerned about kinks, but I also think it's important to have healthy snakes and am also glad you're working on that project. I suppose I'm not pining for the peach color (though am happy about it), but more wanted to avoid the very dark/anery looking examples I saw online for some lavenders. Though, honestly, they're all going to be such pretty snakes, I know. I'm so intrigued by the lavender genetics and what was discovered after producing scaleless lavenders. It's an incredibly interesting morph to me there, but also pretty.
