Lately Maze has been looking a bit... odd. I know some color change is expected during shed, but this doesn't look like an approaching shed to me. I also know that Red Axanthics turn a bit more cream and brown with age, though I haven't really been able to find any photos beyond the before (hatchling) and after (adult).

That's not a trick of the light; her neck and head is grey, and then from back to tail-tip her scales have a yellow tint. It's very subtle, but she's been like this for about two weeks now. I don't think anything is wrong, and I'm not worried... just perplexed. You'd think this would have shown up more obviously right after her last shed, but she still looked very grey around Christmas-time.

I know lighting plays a part, but she looks like the top photos all the time now. She's 7 months old, nearly 300 grams. When do you guys start noticing color changes in morphs?
