New freckles on Ivory

I have a 3 year old Ivory queen bee. Up until a month ago he was super clean, he has been off feed for about 3 months so I don't think he's going into shed. The last few weeks I've noticed he has gone from a few black freckles to a lot of them and his belly is pinking out. Temps and humidity are good and there definitely not mites. Any ideas?

Thise grey (they are grey right?) speckles actually remind me of the graphite ivory just not as pronounced.

Up until a few weeks about he was super white with maybe 3 or 4 speckles

Looks like random speckling for whatever reason.. he must be a banana ivory. ;) Haha, just kidding. He's a cutie.

We got him as an ivory queen bee but he hasn't been proven out so we don't know 100%. I'd be thrilled if produced some surprise bananas. The spider is pretty obvious with his little wobble though. Here a pic pre spots. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...b8b7f5412d.jpg

He's a beauty. :)

Dont think you have anything to worry about if thats your concern. A lot of these morphs darken out as snakes age. The mention of banana is a prime example. Also if you look up the white walker by Markus Jayne it has had lots of increased speckling as the snake has aged. This is likely just natural color change and it may get more peonounced as the snake ages. Interesting note the white walker has spider and gets increased speckling. So as yours is a bee the speckling may just be tied to the spider gene.
