Thought I'd share a pic of Prada in her new skin. She shed perfectly last night and luckily i got to watch the whole process from start to finish. Which was totally fascinating. @Shire pythons thanks mate she's a beauty.

Does the yellow get brighter as they get older? Or does the black get darker? Or what?

I’ve seen some pure black and gold jungle, but yours is very nice :D
 
That’s a nice snake mate

I've been told that they color up more with each shed. But I've also been told that they can lose there color as they get older. I hope she holds her colours. She's my first snake so it'll be exciting to watch what happens.

With this particular palmerston zebra line i have (3 generations)generally speaking the yellow keeps getting better(brighter) for the first 2-3yrs . In saying that some of this snakes sibings went yellow quicker than her . The black stays black but some yellows go brownish at 6yrs some dont and stray vibrant to old age its hard to say what will happen its a lottery
[doublepost=1530864607,1530864384][/doublepost]Furthermore ive noticed some colour up quicker but fade quicker and vice versa. And some stay bright forever . Even the worst ones from each clutch ( if u can even say that) are still pretty damn good imo
 
it seems to have a slightly compressed pattern, is it a zebra? It doesn't quite look like most zebras I've seen, but i do like it.

In my experience the zeb gene in Palmerston jungles creates a more thick/solid broken pattern (like one in questuon) compared to the more common really busy/scattered type pattern in other jungle zebs . Why i dont know but i have a few like this.
