Lack of continuity in symbiote appearances

I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed the inconsistency in the appearence of symbiotes.
I originally thought it should be:
Young immature symbiotes - the pinky/beigey kind
Fully mature symbiotes - the black scaly, red eye kind
But it doesnt seem to be - especially as series have progressed. The Tok'ra (who should all be quite old and therefore mature) seem to be pinky/beigey, yet in the last ep of S3 where Hathor takes a fully mature symbiote out of a jaffa - it's black
What's going on?!

For one thing the Tok'ra are different because they are Tok'ra and not Goa'uld and they are represented physically different because they are idealy different.

That, and a combination of budgets and better FX! :P

& then again maybe they all have different skin colours, from pink thru to black - as varied as the human hosts.

I'm with Abydonian Sky.

And what does it matter anyway? There's a much easier way to tell them apart y'know.

Immature = small with much flailing about type movements

Mature = much larger with better controlled movements (if you're looking that closely I suppose)

Maybe when they take hosts they lose the scales etc, whereas when they're not in hosts they need them for protection.

I think this is an issue for the special fx guyz, or there's something wrong with the colours on your TV.

Maybe they were pampered? I mean, carried around by priestesses, no doubt about to be implanted... They don't need (and are not in an environment) where they need scales for protection. Maybe the fluid somehow simulates the pouch?
