My bee....question?

Maybe he saw a ghost :D

My spider did this a couple weeks after I got him(though not as drastically), and then shed out into a bright, banana yellow. He's stayed high yellow for almost a year (he's only gotten brighter :w00t:), so I'm not complaining, but I thought the breeder sent me the wrong snake at first. It's cool to watch them phase like that, though I wish some of those phases were permanent.

That pic is taken with the exact same piece of poster board in the background and the same black towel and the same camera. There is no editing or photoshop. I h ave no reason to do that I just was simply wondering if anyone had this happen. It happened over a few sheds and has been like that for about 3 months but the white seems to get brighter. I think it looks really neat like this but wouldnt complain if it turned back to "normal" Thanks for the input..

Here is another quick pic with me holding him. I was just trying to capture the color. Hope this helps for those of you that "work with enough photo software" to know I photoshopped it. Like I said im not trying to pass this snake off as some rare morph just that I never seen this before

Just gorgeous wow. There's no way you photoshopped that. If I was you id kind of want the snake to stay like that :P

Wasn't there another thread about this? I remember the guy was from Asia (can't remember which country - Thailand?), and had a spider who turned seriously BLACK & WHITE in one shed. The snake went back to its original color eventually, but looked super cool in the meantime. :) I'll see if I can dig up that thread...

P.S. I thought the first post was photo-shopped too, LOL. :D

Here's that old thread: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...r+pigmentation

Unfortunately the pictures aren't showing anymore, but it should make for a good read anyway... interesting! Edit: You can see one photo on page 3, and a few post-change photos later in the thread.

Whoa...that's pretty sweet!

You seriously need a new camera...or work on your photography skills...:D j/k

I'd love to see a full body shot...especially if it's gonna go changing back...

The first picture of the grey and white looks every greyscaled like the picture was p-shopped. However, the second picture looks much more clear.

That so so cool! I'm sticking with the 'saw a ghost theory' Lol. Very nice looking bee too.

I will admit I do need to work on my photo taking skills lol but he didn't wanna cooperate with me lol. I will try to get a pic of him in his tote undisturbed. I will admit that after all the photoshop comments I looked at the first shot and it did look greyish but in person it is a pretty dramatic change. He just shed a few days ago and actually it seems gets grayerand whiter lol it actually looks like the white is bleeding thru on top a bit too. Maybe he will be all white one day! Lol....I hope he stays like this tho because I think it looks really cool. Ill post another body shot today.
