I am really happy with the clean colour of my BHP that is coming on 18 months in a few weeks. I thought he would darken slightly but he seems to be getting better as he grows. He is a bit Cranky in the shot below and puts on a fair bit of a show when he isn't being handled (striking repeatedly and hissing with mouth wide open - looks awsome) he settles nicely after a min or two while being handled though.
