    It looks a LOT like my friend's vanilla that shed out and lost its color ... So much so that I had to check and see if they were pics of the same snake. (Doesn't look it, but VERY close.)

    So, I'll be the first to cast the "metabolic derangement" vote (or whatever it is that causes spontaneous depigmentation in snakes).

    I don't think it looks like a fire. I'd say vanilla. I don't think it's a ghost either, because the colors look light pale, not really 'washed out' like a ghosts colors look. Ghosts tend to look more translucent.

    Looks like a normal who lost pigment to me. Happens every now and then, no one knows why, although their are theories.

    Does not look like a fire or desert ghost to me.

    Re: Has anyone ever seen this before?

    I am confused by your Question. When the person sent you the pics what did they say?

    'Did this animal change color? If so I have seen this happen two times here. It takes a couple years for them to get their color back.

    If they or you are asking what morph it is. There are several possibilities you would have to breed it to prove it out.

    LOL that is what I was thinking. My theory on the pigment loss here is bacterial.

    Well I spoke with the person who has it in there possession and they got it from a local pet store where they are. The store got it from a "kid" who brought it in and had to get rid of it. The owner wants to sell it to me as a dink project snake. I've never seen anything like her myself. I've seen vanilla's and super's and she sorta looks like them but i'm not 100% sure.

    Breed it. You will know then. But I would haggle on the price, thinking in the back of my mind, it could be a normal or something not genetic.

    If I had to guess with the pic the way I see it on my computer. I would think vanilla. The dark marking don't seem light enough for a fire.

    Interesting ... Care to elaborate? (I think I can see where you're going with that, but I'm curious as to your thought process ...)
