Pseudechis colletti

[Benjamin]

Hi all,
I´ve a question about the colouration of Pseudechis colletti.
Juvenile snakes have all a brightfull colouration from red/black to orange/black.
So my question is about the adults colouration. Is this wonderful colour going away with the age, what do you knowing about? Are adults brownish without red?
Pictures from your animals would helping me...

Many thanks
Benjamin

Its not a great photo, but this is one of my adult females, I have a few adults with great colours, we are selective breeding the nice colours, making sure both the adults have retained the rich red colour.
