Default When do turquoise and bronze auratus turn bronze

I recently obtained 5 very beautiful Turquoise & Bronze Auratus. When I got them, they were bigger than most frogs I've seen for sale, and grow rapidly--even on a day to day basis. I was wondering how old they are before the black on them changes to bronze?

Thanks,

Tom

It is already bronze. The best way to see it is to take a good pic with a good camera and you will see the bronze. It is one of those things you don't see too well with the naked eye.

Tom,
They should lighten up some as they get older.
It almost seems like my breeding group is still changing, and they are around 2 yrs old.

They morph out black or just about, and they change as they grow older... getting to their best true bronze at around 2 years, tho their color can and very likely will continue to change as they age.
