You made me venture onto that terribly dangerous site, Iansvivarium, to look into this Jane  ! Once you're on there you can't help looking at all the different morphs and before you know it you've got a wish list that's GOT to be fulfilled  .
This is the link to the caramel corn, and it shows the difference between the hatchling and adult, as well as quite a few pics of the stages in between http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/caramel/
Dan's progression thread is brilliant, as it'll really show you how one particular caramel changes as it grows.....and it is a particularly beautiful caramel .

Yep, they start off looking anery with a dash of yellow on their heads, and the yellow spreads down their body, and the black/brown saddles turn a lighter brown...
Progress of my CB11 snakes, one of which is a caramel. Shots from 2 months old to recently.

In short, yes they are darker as hatchlings and change colour as they grow. |
