    My Ball Python lost her color
    I have a 3 year old healthy ball python she got done shedding 2 days ago and lost her color, she is now white/ gray with black markings. Anybody know why she lost her color?

    are you sure she's done shedding? have you seen/removed the skin?
    Alot of balls' colour fades (especially morphs) as they get older; but then on the flip side some develop more color as they age.

    has she been bred? If she has it could be her glow.

    This is probably similar to what you are speaking about.

    Saw the pics in your gallery...i'm guessing here, but it looks like those scales weren't ready. Similar to when hatchlings have a lack of color development if they are cut or pip too early. As mentioned in the links to the other threads of similar instances, I think your BP will be ok and will likely return to normal color over the next few sheds. I'd keep a particularly close eye on humidity during this time.
