Wow that is a nice looking animal! Almost look axanthic-ish.
There are a few threads around here, and a video of people snakes who have gone into shed, came out, shed, and are completely different colors than before.
I would say it's rare for sure. But it's a nice surprise when it does happen!

Super looking snake!
First thing I thought of too, axantic-ish.
Thanks for sharing.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
Mack The Knife, 2013

1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons

2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?

0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017
Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

Re: Killerbee completely grey and white?
There was some discussion on this phenomena with a orange belly gene animal recently. And the fact that the animal and a sibling who had undergone a similar sudden darkening. They were not sure if it was genetic or related to a suspected bacterial infection. Very interesting. The animal shown here is amazing and does look axanthic or anerythrystic at this stage. Congrats to the owner. Actually more anery than axanthic. The orangebellys became much darker than this though.

I've seen those snakes too, changing colors after a couple shed- I haven't seen as significant as this killerbee before though. It makes me wonder what affected it! It does look axanthic, but even crazier.

That's interesting! Do you remember where the discussions are or where I can find the pictures? (I'll search for them myself if I can) Did they ever try breeding/testing if it is genetic?
I find it crazy that it would undergo this kind of change as a sub-adult, if it's genetic. Weird!

I remember seeing this on Facebook too, we must be in one of the same groups .
Here's the thread on the orange bellies. They're trying to breed it out this season.

Re: Killerbee completely grey and white?
I don't think this is the same kind of change as the orange bellies. This change is I am to believe after one shed. Not as they grow like in the orange bellies. I could be wrong. But that's how I took the killer bee change. I remember seeing something like this happen to a ball python a few years ago and a lot of people said various reasons on why it changed its pigments to black and white. If my memory serves me right. The ball pythons changed back after a few more sheds.

that's insane
one of my snakes got dramatically darker recently, but it wasn't as big of a change as this
-

Yeah, the killerbee's change was after one shed. But that shed happened apparently 6 years ago, so it doesn't seem like it's something that will go away again.
Hmm too bad the OP of that other thread didn't post pictures haha- I'm curious.
