If you're asking when will they get their adult coloration (I can't think of anything else that yuou might mean by them "turning"), you'll have a pretty good idea when they get to and pass around the 100 gram mark, but they will still change on into adulthood (3-5 years+).
For me, I look at the parents (if possible), the side diffusion, and depending upon the exact morph, the coloration (as an example, for a lavender bloodred, I would want one that showed alot of peach).

They generally "hit their prime" at about 3 years of age. After that many examples start gaining black pigment. I'd would buy my baby bloodreds based on what the parents look like.

Yeah, when they're 9-12 months old, you can start to see what they'll look like, but as Susan said, it'll take several years for them to really reach their full potential.

Here ( http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?p=850699#post850699 ) you can see 2 bloodreds 3 years old . The darker one is the male . On the female you can see the diffusion on the sides what could be a marker for a nice bloodred at 3-5 years .
