    Looks like she might be losing pigment. Nothing to worry about. It's just an oddity that happens once in a great while. She might lose all of her color, but it will eventually come back with each shed. If you do a search the same thing happened with someone's spider female. It has taken a VERY long time for any pigment to come back.

    this has happened before to us. The color will come back, but it take time.

    anyone know of it happening to a co-dominate or ressesive morph. or is it just something with the dominate morphs?

    Re: stange grey spot in my pinstripes pattern!

    My 200g '09 female pin also has this "pigment fading" on her back pattern, in her's, its a straight line down the center of her back. I believe this looks amazing, to see a light gray stripe in a pin back pattern. Does anyone know if it is inherited to the offspring? Like the scaleless corn snake's scalelessness, it was a fluke with small patches of bare skin. Now from breeding the flukes together, there is the completely scaleless high end morph. If this too could be amplified to some extent, think of the possibilities, endless if it is possible. But, as always in snakes, you cant expect anything. It's a gamble no matter what the odds are. Just a thought.

    It's an Ivory trying to get out. I wonder if this could be a type of bruise? I don't really know, just a guess on my part.

    Good Luck!
