    Green eyed Lucy?

    Well no he's a pastel.
    But he is starting to lose pigmentation on his head and a couple little spots on his neck.
    Between now and his last shed it was just his head.
    Which made me think , oh its just the pastel head fade.
    But now its white.
    Not severe all his head or nothing but a pretty noticeable patch of just white.
    Where there used to be brown and color is solid white.
    I've heard of spontaneous pigment loss but not to the point of WHITE.
    like I've seen the spiders and normals that lost pigment but I've never seen a pastel.
    It might just be a little but I think its spreading and don't know if its a disease kinda related or just a "let it be" kinda thing. I'm taking pictures in a second to show you all but
    Really need help.
    I'm worried but not flipping out.... Yet.

    Mostly cuz he just got over an RI a couple months ago.
    Eating regularly... Well for him. 3 LG mice every 2 weeks.

    Pigment loss has been known to happen with snakes that went through a stressful ordeal. It doesn't really effect them and it will usually shed back to normal colors after, but it does look pretty cool!

    It almost looks like he's rubbing his head on something.

    Yes it does look kinda kewl. LOL

    I'd understand the stress part. But right after he had the RI ( well a month) after he shed. And it didn't look like that. His head was just as faded as before.
    This is just one shed and white is there.
    Last shed his head fade was just very, idk how to say it.
    Light.
    He did rub off a scale 2 sheds ago.

    Also. His shed this time had an abnormally large amount of brown from his pattern
    It usually has a little, but just enough that you can make out his pattern
    This time was srsly brown.

    It could be caused by the stress of being sick. It doesn't really look like something that I would be super worried about. It just looks like pigment loss to me-as long as he hasn't ever had it before.

    Freaky! Yeah, I don't know. But if the patch remains and he stays healthy, you should call him a "reverse paradox" or something fancy.

    Thanks lady!
    Yeah im not worried. Just feel weird looking at it...
    If I ended with a white pastel that'd be insane!

    Loon, reverse paradox would be crazy! Ill keep y'all updated with my little dude.
    Well not so little. He's 1000 grams and his kids were born just a couple weeks ago.

    That's what's wrong! Fatherhood stress!!
