General Care Discussion :: Is there a difference?

Hi all, ive seen different coloured RES hatchlings, and was wondering, does this affect the way theyll look when theyre adults?

Here is a pic of 3 different coloured hatchlings -

They should continue to each follow there own ungue pattern. So yes it will follow the way they look as an adult

Just like humans, turtles have different shell/skin colors too.

Ah ok cool, so the light ones will they turn brown quicker? and the greenier ones keep the green longer?

Thanks.

Umm no, its random for all of them what they will look like older. One may get darker, one way may stay brighter. Only they future will show you what you will get.
