color and patter definition change?

[charlie1]

As the snake grows does the color become more or less vivid? How about the definition between the saddles do they become more or less defined as they age? My normal(that is what it is supposed to be) has some gray between its saddles and in some places some red will the gray turn red?

Each individual snake is different. Check this site out...it shows all the morphs from hatchlings to adults.

Yellow is the pigment that develops most as they grow. Normals can start off looking amost black and white, but as the yellow develops, the oranges and browns become more pronounced. "final" adult colours are usually established by the age of three-ish. Snows can develop pale washes of yellow or orange seemingly at any point in their life.

On yours, if it's a hatchling then the grey areas have a good chance of going more orange, red or brown. However, some forms of Normal can have greyish backgrounds.

It is hard to tell from the pics but it appears that the hatchling okeetee is more orange between the saddles where as the Normal has orange spots between the saddles with more over all gray. Both appear to have dark brown saddles.
