I think this it true of a lot of garters. It seems that as they mature, they get a lot of their colour....unlike other snakes that start out colourful and then they fade as they get older. I know my pallidulus have really coloured up as they've been growing. I'm hoping on getting some real intense reds and grees to put with my mine (more intense then what you have ) and also hope to maybe be able to get some melanistics or other morphs. They seem to be "almost" as variable as sirtalis.....and they're legal for me....LOL.
