Does Florida Kingsnake change color?

Hi guys,
I'm not familiar with Kingsnake morphs. But today I saw a very pretty baby Florida Kingsnake. It's black background color with flaming yellow/red speckles on its side.
Similar to this picture:

(picture from theanimalnetwork.com)

My question is, Does the color going to fade out as they mature? or are they going to retain their baby coloration.

Please advice.
Thanks!

That baby will lose its red. I hope that doesn't stop you from getting a Floridana though. I think they actually get prettier as they age. They are one of the only colubrids that do. Plus, they are such nice snakes. Ferocious eaters but very calm temperament when you handle them, even when they're babies.

I'm attaching a baby and adult picture of the same snake.

Here is an intergrade between a Floridana and Eastern Chain king.

Olivia,
thanks for the pictures, they're really pretty!
Wow I didn't expect them to change color that much..
The black colors also faded out... :scatter:

I'm now devided between Florida Kingsnake or Mexican Black kingsnake.
The petstore near my house has both specimens and I can't decide..
THey're both very good looking.
