    Ball Python Turning White??? Please Help

    I hope this works I am New to this kind of thing..... Any ways I have an 08 Male Jungle pastel Ball Python that after the last three shed he has lost both color and pattern to spots on his body. like he is becoming as pied or some thing. I have never heard of it before nor found anything on line yet If you have a idea of what this could be Please let me know. I have quarantined him Just in case. Feeding, Sheds and Deification is all normal and no huge weight gain or lose. He is feed F/T so its not bite marks and he is housed alone in a Rack unit no edges for him to Rub raw or scratch him self. He seems healthy But its Just kinda weird. Thank you for any help Regarding this matter. I do apologize if this is not the right place to post this. ( New to web)

    Dear S.L.Ut,

    This would be an instance where photos of your Ball would help diagnose (visually) a possible problem regarding the loss of pigmentation.

    Definitely post pictures.

    I have heard of this happening before, but I cannot remember if it was localized like you say or if it affected the entire snake.
