In the past, I have sold most of my hatchlings, keeping only the ones I thought looked the best as babies. However, this past year saw different results. I did not sell all of them, but let kids in my classroom care for about 10 of them.
Well, in hanging onto them for a much longer time, I am noticing that the 'keepers' are not necessarily the best looking ones as they grow. Some of the kids' snakes are looking particularly beautiful, and developing their colors more quickly, etc.
I knew the variatin would be there, but I never really considered hanging onto more for awhile to see what develops.
Just goes to show I can always learn something new.

I know what you mean - my amel, JD, had striking coloration as a hatchling, imo. Of course, when I got him as a n00b, I didn't realize that the yellows take time to develop. Now that he's almost a yard in length, I realize he's just a reg'lar ol' amel to me.

But he was my first snake. And as the lyric goes, the first guttata is the deepest. :crazy02:

Hmmm.... I think "puntificating" involves a foot, while "buntificating" involves an estraneous object...i.e. a bat. If you were "pontificating" you'd merely be philosophizing, as if you were a pontiff...or a Pope. Shall we merely agree you were waxing philosophically?

Here's where we differ - you went the extra letter on me. I don't have "bunts" of steel.

If you were "pontificating" you'd merely be philosophizing, as if you were a pontiff...or a Pope.

And if I were "puntificating", I'd be philosophizing while making puns. As in, "the first guttata is the deepest", or as in that lil' quote above my avatar.

Wax on, wax off!

Since I actually do understand binary, I'll accede to your definition of PUNtificating. Nothing I love more than a happy pun...play on words...semantics is the bane of my existence! My beloved spouse is an expert wordologist!
