I've seen that phenomenon in a few other discussions. Usually a normal looking snake will shed into this weird color pattern out of nowhere....sometimes a few sheds of increasing "weirdness"...and then all of a sudden shed back to normal and stay normal after that.
It's a very cool looking snake....but I wouldn't pay $1500 for it without seeing hatching and baby pictures proving that its always looked like that.

Thats kinda interesting...would do you think could cause that...some weird condition during the formation of the new skin where different pigments are produce or some aren't?
That would be cool to have a different snake every couple of months...sorta like an everlasting gobbstopper

Thats a Paradox axanthic. Your thinking of an IMG ball python...they turn grey with some sheds, but its unproven, I think.
Paradox Axanthic and IMG are two different snakes, arent they adam?

Well, if you'll look again, you'll see that Adam didn't say "It will never happen more than once"....he only said "I've never seen it..." Meaning...he has never seen it...which is a truth someone can know. ;)
Hehe...one thing I know for sure about Adam...he's very careful when stating absolutes.

No, it's not. It's a skin condition that ball pythons get.

Re: Interesting KS Ad.
The guy placing the ad JUST had this snake shed to that color less than a couple of weeks ago (if my memory serves me correctly). He posted on the kingsnake forum with pictures of it before and after the shed. Before - looked normal, after - like what you are seeing in the picture. He also got feed back that it may change back to normal.
Hey, if someone is willing to pay $1500 for it - more power to him!
