I have heard that the red neonates turn green when they are adults. Is this true? And if it is, do the yellow ones do it too?

The red and yellow colours are just neonate/juvenile colours. All GTP's and ETB's start that way. They loose it.

| Yes, basically all gtps are hatched out either red (or various shades of red) and yellow (also various shades though not as dramatic as the reds). All babies will morph into adult colors, some starting as early as 3 months of age, but mostly they'll start between 6-12 months of age. The reds usually take longer to change. Most locale types color up fairly quickly once the change starts, the biak locale type though is known for it's very slow change overall and can easily take 5 years to completely get their green. This is why a lot of young biaks are still "high yellow". When working with locale types gtps you can pretty much guestimate how they will look as adults, with designer and mixed locale pairings it's nearly impossible to guess what these babies will look like as adults. Part of what makes keeping these snakes so interesting!

Eventually down the line they will not be red or yellow, but green. I believe that as they get older (mainly females) turn a bluish color-but I may be wrong.

| None will stay red, but some can stay yellow. Nearly all gtps have some amount of green, yellow, blue and white on them as adults. A very few have red splotches as adults but it is not the same color red as when they are babies.
