Could it possibly look like the parents when it grows up?

2nd up:
Parents: mc snow jungle poss het tremper and creamsicle enigma

Also from the same parents, SHTCT, would it look nice as adults?

I think those bottom 2 are going to be stunning... a lot will depend on your experience with leos also... juvies (unler 3-ish months) and hatchlings are usually a bit more difficult to get going than most sub adults or one that is a few months old so please keep that in mind when choosing... also ask a lot of questions about their individual temperaments if it is a leo you would like to handle a lot. With the enigma gene in there, handling stress (or stress in general) can trigger some enigma syndrom symptoms so you want to make sure first they are def. enigma syndrom free (the parents as well) and 2, that they are mellow in temperament and will happily accept handling. That's how I would decide if it were me, looks would be secondary to temperament honestly.

Thanks! And yes I did ask a lot of questions, I'm only buying the kids, not the parents. I asked more about the yellowish enigma from the 1st up part, it doesn't have the enigma syndrome, the parents also. The 2nd one i didn't ask a lot on yet but it has a tail kink in the base that i think went away or cannot be noticed anymore after it fattened up it's more orange now so does that mean the 2nd one will always be more orange? the last pic was an shtct, not an enigma, i'm choosing between the 2 enigmas. :)

Will this look like that when it gets older?

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but at that age, I don't think it's very likely it'll be that brightly colored as the parents.

If you're considering it because it's price is lower, then it's likely because it isn't going to be such a striking color as the parents.
