Very interesting change

yeah if that happened to my girl i would probably have a few good minutes of panic attack before i realized that it was acutally really cool.

Um, It looks like it was edited to me.
I'll make a picture like that tonight for you guys.

i was thinking that at first, but you never know, i mean, after my snake shed once, he had a lot of white, that was like a pied, but after the next shed, it was gone, and i know it wasnt anything bad, i had it checked out, so maybe it just changed

now that i think about it

it looks like he scewed up and didnt make part of it grey in the righ corner, and if you look at the black part, it looks like something from photoshop, its not the same shade of black

Well, I've heard of a problem hatchling BCI turning anery after a shed (and seen the animal afterwards), so it's not too unbelievable...

However, I doubt it's genetic... most likely, just some developmental deformity if it changes colours after a shed.

:shock: Thats crazy.

I see what your talking about royal-y-great, he left some brown on there it looks like. I think its fake but if its real that is one special ball.

Nah, I think it's legit. I know my way around Photoshop and know most/all techniques to do stuff like that. Usually to do a color change like that you'd select the whole body of the snake, then change colors with the color palette(hard to explain). So if he did do it, it would've done it all. So I see the parts where there still is color as a sign that it's legit. I'm sure if a ball would have really lost its color in a shed, it wouldn't lose all it's color. There'd be patches I'd think.
Man...I so wouldn't mind having a ball that did that after shed. Or maybe it chooses to do that...secret chameleon gene. :shock: ;)

If it was Legit, you'd see more balls having that happen too.
Its fake, trust me ... blow up the picture in photoshop and look at it carefully, you'll see.

all i can say is if it is photoshop, then i hope he has a job getting paid to do something so authentic looking.it could be done in photoshop, but you couldnt do it that well with just a mouse, you need the pin-pointers. i hope to get one some day. i do think color can be left in though. or maybe if it was photoshop it was done with the intent to have specks here and splotches there. i can see yellow in it's spine, and around areas where you would excpect light to fall. very cool snake or very good photoshop user???
