Help: My spider turn...gray

[bignasty]

WOAH!!! The color change is awesome! She's even more gorgeous that before! I hope she's alright though.

T,
She is fine. This seems to happen more often the believed. I have not seen it in my personal collection, but have seen it on many forums, and talked to some people that have seen it. Noone I have spoken with knows what causes it, but over the next 3-6 sheds, she will more than likely slowly turn back to her original color.

I don't "think" that this color change will affect her health, and I don't believe it's a sign of anything wrong with her, but I'd wait for those more experienced to comment. It is an amazing change and VERY cool looking!

Edit - Tim answered! Yay! I know if I were you - I'd take tons of pictures of her like this to enjoy after she returns to her normal coloration - so cool! You should take a really cool picture of her and submit in BPOM contest!

Dude, there's gonna be two small problems. I'm exactly half the world from you and my wonderful government prohibit exportation of any kind of snake lol

Thanks y'all(especially you, Tim) for every comments, I feel a bit better now.

I dunno if it's any help at all, but I can second what Tim has said. I don't have personal experience with this change, but have read about numerous separate accounts of it happening. In some, it happend gradually over 2-3 sheds, and in some it happened all at once like with yours. In each case, there were no ill effects to the snake at all, and it returned to its normal color within a few months and a few sheds.

Absolutely stunning spider you got there...both in her usual "wardrobe" and in her new outfit! Her and that beautiful pastel are gonna make some smokin' bees!

Ralph Davis just emailed me back and I just talked to Amir on the phone.
Both of them're saying the same thing as Tim. She'll turn back to normal after several shedding. I guess it's photo time lol

Amir actually told me that the animal will even have a brighter yellow after they get their yellow back. Will keep y'all update.

It's like...while the new skin was developing right before the shedding process....the ink cartridge with the yellow/brown pigment went empty. She'll have to wait for a new shipment to come in before her color returns to normal.

lol
Now I wish she will like her new look better and never change back to her old color

Just like when my wife decide to turn old, she never look back!

No offence to all the BP ladies!
