Coloring on a normal?

My bp was this really bright yellow when i first got him. I know it's normal for the color to fade but is it normal for them to have lighter coloring on their end half then on their front half? I'll post pics in a bit too. They are uploading onto my computer and it takes a while. Sorry if it is a silly question! I was just wondering!

Young BPs mature into their adult colors when they get older. It is a normal occurance. :)

Yeah, but between the head and the tail? The tail looks like it is fading and the middle toward the head looks like it is darkening.

Here are some pics I took to show what I'm talking about

He used to be a brilliant yellow color like this: http://www.cornutopia.com/Corn%20Uto...le,%203-06.jpg

Minus blushing.

Can one shed do that?

Ball pythons show an amazing array of colors and markings and patterns. Most likely yours will manage to "grow into" a more smooth coloration.
Amazing aren't they?

Well considering that is a Pastel, and yours is a Normal, not really.

But shedding and growing are a part of BP-ness, as is a subtle color change. It should not be dramatic, but it happens.
