not sure this is where i should post but I was wondering something. I have what I was told was a high yellow...I have had him/her for just over a month and not sure of age when i gotit but those on here said they think it's a high yellow. My question is..how old are they when they gettheir permanent adult color that you know will not or hardly change anymore? I read somewhere tha tit was liek 8 weeks or something? If that is the case then maybe mines not 8 weeks yet and if so then when i got it he/she must have been like 2 or 3 weeks old? (from pet**) It is flourishing and gaining weight awesome nice fat tail. The only color change i have seen in the 5 weeks i have had it is the tail has darkened up as well as some carrot has appeared that wasn't there previously but the black and yellow stripes have little to no change whatsoever. Does that mean this will be his permanent color or is the 8 weeks thing off too? I have not seen an adult with this color only hatchlings..Oh and at what weight or age do they become juvies instead of hatchlings...juvies to sub adult? those are other questions i had lol any info would be great..my other I was told was a poss SHT maybe carrot tail but has a couple spots in the carrot tail so prolly not.. they are within 2 grams of eachother in weight and both gaining regularly. I have pics posted but can post new ones if you would like a more recent pic from the top of both. Thanks

I think it's longer than that, although I have yet to track it. I would wait for six and twelve month time points. Eight weeks = far too brief, IMO/IME.

What weight is it at? IMO at about 25-30 grams it seems they don't change too much in coloration after that unless the are ovulating/breeding etc...then colors can fade a bit.
