Pilau looked a little like Carrot, but with the addition of little gingery flashes at the sides of his eyes. He was a brown tricolore and Carrot is just a brown.
Pil started out as a very dark chocolate colour. Though you'd never think it to look at the cappucino colour he ended up :p
That's the thing with beardies. They start out with the deep colours, then at around a year old they fade to near colourless, then about a year later the colour starts to return but not as dark. It's a recessive gene I think. You never really know exactly what shade your beardie will turn out to be.
I'll dig around and see if I can find any phots of Pil as a pup. Get them scanned in. He was a devilishly handsome puppy.
