If you are worried, take her to a vet for crying out loud.
Take her to the vet just in case.

Huh?
No offense, but the people he has talked to( RDR and others) I would be much more inclined to believe one of them over a vet anyday. RDR and a select few have even seen this strange occurrence, much less a vet. Vets have enough trouble diagnosing a RI....

Re: Help: My spider turn...gray
I would have brought her to vet, if I didn't get any information on her. However, many breeders told me that this thing happens and it is not harmful to my snakes. Those people are (in order of whom I get information from first) Tim, Ralph, Amir, Brian, and Chun. They all told me exact same thing. So I guess it's pretty safe for me to sit on my butt and enjoy her new look while it last.
More new pics soon

Re: Help: My spider turn...gray
I end up keeping him Jon. I've realized that super ball is hard to find, so I better keep one for myself since I have a chance to get one. He's one mean dude though, so many people here got tagged by him lol
Also bought one adult male Angolan x Ball couple months ago as well...can't wait to see him. I'm starting a ball hybrid collection. Next one I'll get Ball x corn hybrid lol

Anyway, it's a very interesting phenomenon Pictures, pictures while it lasts!
In most of the animals I have read about or heard about, I don't recall it occuring near breeding. In fact most of the occurances that I can recall, it happened in sub-adults.
T, I am glad you got plenty of advice that allowed your mind to be at ease.

Some sense? There's no need to take her to the vet, this is a phenomena that happens to some snakes - nothing vet worthy.
