Drastic post-shed color change

[DragonDreams]

My young adult eastern male was always an unusual color but since his last shed his color changed drastically. He was a medium reddish brown with high yellow sides, now where he was yellow he is a pinkish caramel color. Is it common for them to change colors after they are already grown?

Pretty garter!

I've got a western terrestrial. He was kind of an olive color when I caught him. I think that he was about 6-9 months old. When he hit the year mark, he picked up a lot of orangy color on the sides and some orange spotting on the belly. If my initial age estimate was right, he's about a year and a half old now, his color still seems to be changing but at a slower rate.
