So of the 3 snakes I own one of them is a Bloodred and another one is a Amber. Knowing both these snakes will (or should at least) look drastically different from how they appear now. At what age do these snakes normally reach their true mature coloration? Do the colors only change with sheds or does it happen constantly? Any info or links would be appreciated.
 
Color changes occur with sheds. Some of the most dramatic often occur in the first 6 months to 2 years of age, but growth rate will also affect when the most color changes will occur. I would say that once a corn snake has reached "mature" size, whether that happens at 18-24 months or 4 years, it has also reached it mature coloration. However, some morphs may continue to change in color gradually for the rest of it's life. I've noticed my older anery morphs look different at 10 years than what they did at 5 years.
 
Me too.. I have an Anery female that is 7 years old now and she looks much different from 5 years of age and 2 years of age and younger. It's different with all my snakes though for sure.
