Hey everyone I'm new and I am looking into getting a BRB and just started looking finally after I decided on getting a BRB. Now I was wondering color wise are they like BP's and start to brighten up in the first year and then fade after time or what. I want my BRB to be EXTREMELY ruby red. I saw some with the ruby red top and white sides and belly and it looks hot but I don't need that as long as the ruby red is a brilliant color. Babies of BRB's (normals) seem to range from a light orange or tan color to a dark black/red. I guess the best why to get some answers is by examples so here are some babies:
Now would these color babies get the white side and ruby red top or what? Then I know there is a more paler one in the pics, what about him?
Also can ppl post up pics of their BRB's as babies and then now??
BRBs tend to get brighter and better looking as they age. so if you get a good looking hatchling then you have a good chance of having a nice bright adult.
The white underside may not be a fixed feature because they get light undersides during the night time to help with heat retention. I believe it's called metachrosis.
Even if your new baby doesnt turn out bright red i'm sure it will still be very beautiful Who knows, you might get lucky but you might not want to set your hopes too high incase you end up dissapointed- but by then i'm sure you'll be very attached and the colour wont matter so much.
