Are they typical colourings tho for a juvenile coastal
 
Yes, generally the babies start off brighter in colouring and darken up as they get older. Some are more orange than others when hatched but may end up looking the same when older.

As you can see the in the shot where the snake is coiled it is alot brighter in colour the head photo. You can see the back pigment coming through. The darker photo was taken about 5 months after the first.
