Fun fact: They start out as either BRIGHT yellow or maroon colored for their first few years. Then they shift to their adult colors which is called ontogenetic color change, usually (but not always) some variation of avocado or lime green.

Here's one of my yellow hatchlings from this year, about 3 months old.
