There are also other animals that have done this. Another example are lavander albinos they start producing small amounts of melanin which gives them the purple color as they grow.


Easy example
take 5 gallon bucket of white paint open the the can and its white as day. 2 days later add a drop of black paint not much of a differance but add a drop of paint every day in a few months your going to have gray. the animals finally stop changing when you stop adding the drops of black.

We Know that ball pythons develope more melanin as they grow thats why ligth colored or bright colored babys get darker as they grow.

This is my 2 cents take it as you want
Though this makes sense genetically, why is it then that all other Toffee or Candy hatchlings that we have had examples of show some sort of this slight melanin production as hatchlings?
See where I'm coming from? I don't see any traces of melanin in that hatchling, which leads me to believe it's just an albino.
