Not sure if this is the right forum to post this under, tapatalk won't let me get the "what morph is this" sub forum. Anyway, back in 2010/2011 I got my first snake, I was rather uninformed at the time and bought a CH ball python from a local "pet store" type of place. He's always been just a basic looking normal, though I always thought he'd pair best with a cinnamon because he was slightly darker and whatnot. Over the past few sheds he's started changing color. Much more brighter, more pronounced blushing. So much so thank I know think his best mate would be a fire! This past shed happened over Christmas while I was out of town (hence the stuck shed) and when I came back I was really taken aback by how bright he's gotten. I know there's reports of snakes changing shades slightly between sheds, but this has really kind of been happening over the course of a year. It all started near his tail, and just got more and more pronounced. All the pics were taken outside under the same sun, so it's not the lighting. Any input?
Also sorry about the bad pics. My computer decided to delete a whole album of photos and these were the only ones i could really scrounge up. Plus the ones I just took.

These were all in 2012/2013 area. You can see he's got dark browns and blacks with a very light hint of blushing spots.



This one was taken in early 2014... You can see where he's getting slightly lighter at the tail and the blushing spots are standing out more
The second one was taken inside but also shows the tail change



And now... Today. Fire-bright with prominent blushing. What's going on here?
