Its funny you say that Clark they are from a line which is chucking out some mental clowns at the minute they look like genetic stripe clowns with a twist lol. They have been bred this season female is in perfect health over 2 kilo and as a great body condition so thought i'd give it a whirl :)

Literally at the start of the week he looked normal and yesterday he looked like this lol the female did exactly the same too but not as dramatic we honestly thought she was just glowing.

Color in ball python scales seems to be very much a surface thing...any scrape of the scales or interference with the skin's normal growth can remove the color. It's the last thing to develop in hatchlings, too.
I do hope they get their colour back :) crazy thing these balls.

just a thought.
They look amazing as is...good luck with them.
Thanks :D I have spoke to a friend about the 'glow' and only found out yesterday that males can glow too it could be what's happening after all we do know the clown gene does crazy things with balls. I have yet to see a lock from the male though but everything is looking promising :)
