    Looks to me like it could be an axanthic.. Possibly TSK line. IMO

    I agree that he looks like an "IMG." My understanding is that this is possibly genetic, but very difficult to prove out for a few reasons, not the least of which is that most IMGs don't change color until they are a year or two.

    Agreed, this looks like a normal ball python that shed out all of its color. IMG can cause this, but it has a few other unknown causes as well.
    I would wait a couple of months and see what happens. If the color starts to come back in normally, it was a fluke (or diet, etc). If it comes back in accompanied by increasing amounts of black flecks, then it's IMG (increasing melanin gene).

    Once you see a few animals that look like this, you can tell them apart from morphs. The color loss is 'rough', and uneven.

    Def a color loss or "IMG" ball python. It's not genetic as far as anyone has been able to prove anyways. We had a pair that we were working with. They are cool looking nonetheless.
