So... What's going on here?

First, thanks for the wealth of information this site has provided as I've jumped into this amazing hobby! My question is about my Black Pewter girl that I obtained a few weeks ago. I am kinda strange, I like crazy messed up patterns as well as seriously clean and basic. This new girl had a washed out tail that I love. I haven't seen anything like this but I only got my first BP a year and a half ago. I mainly wanted to know if anyone thought it was just an uncommon trait, possibly genetic or maybe just a weird paradox that I have going on with her. Other than a pretty feisty attitude she is a marvelous snake and I plan to keep her for a very long time whatever the outcome! (And sorry for the pics, they are a bit washed out and the color isn't exactly right)https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...4_173526sm.jpghttps://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...4_173426sm.jpg

I wouldn't quite call that a paradox but definitely a funky pattern. I got my black pewter cuz of his washed outness.

If it wasn't a pewter I'd say it's a ringer but pewters can have a lot of washed out pattern variations. Here's my sandblast pewter.

Thanks for the comments. Sounds like its just a standard pewter abnormality which is what I was expecting. Very nice snakes by the way. I can't wait to see if anything changes as she gets larger. She is only about 275 grams right now so I guess only time will tell.

Def a cool snake.

Faded patches like that appear often when black pastel or cinnamon combines with pastel/super pastel. I really love randomly faded patches and patterns too LOL, it does remind me of paradox.

Yes, this can happen with pewters. Sometimes there is a clear genetic component and it gets called fader, but often it is just random. I do love pewters.
