    Somebody stole your snake and replaced it with another!!!!
    Just kidding.
    What color was it before?
    How long have you had it?
    How old is it?
    Can you post pictures?

    I've heard of this happening before, where the snake shed and all the pigment was gone.

    It apparently sorted itself out and the snake got it's regular color back after a few months.
    Wish I could find the thread I saw it on...

    Here's a thread about his happening to a Spider...unfortunately doesn't look like the pictures are working now. Apparently it's not all that uncommon and usually corrects itself after a few sheds...

    Um color change, NO there has been odd cases where "normal" snakes shed and go "greyish white" ralph davis has a video of it, every shed snake gets lighter, BUT no color change dont happen, All that would change, is the dullness of the snakes and milky blue eyes.
