Jungle Color

I was just wondering do jungles loose their color fast. What i mean is my snake's color was really bright yellow but now the color is fading. He is not even 2 years old yet.

I'm certainly not the best person to be responding to this but...

From what I have read, there's speculation that the ones quickest to "colour up" are the ones which fade the most in the end. How true that is, I don't know, as both of my jungles I just recently bought as adults, and the only others I've had previously didn't stay in my possession long enough for them to reach adulthood.

Do you have before/after photos that you can show? I'd be keen to see him.

Are you sure it's not just due to a shed cycle?

He has only just shed the other day and it has been a while i have other posts around of him with pics. I know that jungle will loose their color over time i just didn't think it would be so soon.

I just did a search and found some recent pictures of him. That's rather odd, I really wouldn't expect a jungle of that age or size to be fading.
