Message: <blockquote data-quote="Austin S." data-source="post: 104041" data-attributes="member: 5088">These are the three adult females I have.<img src="http://i.imgur.com/1sqgkgP.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The one in the middle, is the oldest of the group at 7 or 7 and a half years old.The first, really dark dark female, is close to only 5 years.This first female was purchased from a breeder in Germany at 1". It was said that the MM used was a dark phase.At the time, I believed there to be a black phase metallica, however throughout the years I came to the conclusion that they darken with age... at least that's what I thought until this middle one started molting through the past few years, and just getting lighter.   Last female is around the same age as the first female pictured.</blockquote>
