Bredli Colour/Pattern

[TroopyF]

I would like to know how much colouring/pattern changes in a Bredli from Hatchy to Adult. Are they completely different,not much change or is each snake different?
Any photos or links would be great.
Thanks

Pattern generally stays the same, but each shed they will colour up to the more orange colour instead of the drab brown they are as hatchies, then the reserve will slowly happen as they age.

Depending on the individual line some might be more colourful than others etc. Heres some of my classic girl from different ages. First 3 photos thanks to Kurto.

i havnt kept many bredli but from what iv seen they get brighter with age....depending on what lines obviously... these of mine are just over 18mnths and getting better with each shed.
first pic is of our dark one and 2nd of our light variation.
1st is getting darker with every shed and vise versa with the other one.

Wow

WOW.......They are all STUNNING specimens. I was a bit iffy about how a darker Bredli would look but after looking at your '******' Ssssmithy, im convinced they are ALL beautiful.
So correct me if i'm wrong please those in the know- the markings do not change dramatically from hatchy to adult,only the colouring will change with age/shed.

Thanks so much for sharing everyone too.
Cheers

The markings just get more distinct. The most dramatic colour changes are the chondros (of course). Among the carpets, the Darwins change a lot from brownish hatchlings to very well-contrasted patterns in adults. It is very hard to predict the final outcome. Check out this thread to see a great example. http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/australian-snakes/significant-change-in-darwin-colour-92820
