Ivory ball pythons aren't white their entire lives. They actually color up after a couple of months, and some have awesome lavender, gray & bluish pigmentation in addition to the yellow dorsal stripe, although these colors do fade over time. They maintain their midnight-blue eyes w/red pupils into adulthood. Personally I wish they'd retain their juvenile coloration...but it's hard to knock this morph regardless of subtle pigmentation!
Enjoy!
