This is the same animal 11 days later after a shed. Notice the peach colored scales showing up around the stripe.

Eventually all of the peach scales will be bright white! This will take about another 6 months before the contrast will blow your mind :smt023

They can be as young as 6 months old when they start their change or as old as a year. My babies are kept in 17qt. HOMZ containers until about a year and a half old then they go to deep 'sweater box' size which I think is 64qt. As adults they go into acrylic enclosures with driftwood perches.
