    Wierd Color after shed

    So my girl just shed over the weekend, but when I was looking at her today, I noticed that she's got these weird patches where her colors changed. They're almost perfectly circular areas where her color has lightened noticeably. (Area starting by the base of my thumb and going right below.) It's weird because it's like only the brown is disappearing in those areas. The yellow and black seem unchanged.



    The scales don't feel any different like I would expect if she had hurt herself or gotten burned(not that there's anything that could burn her. I have two UTH's on saperate thermostats keeping temps in check. Neither side was even above 90.

    Think I should be worried about this?

    No, you shouldn't be worried. BPs seem to have random pigment loss/gain/change like that all of the time. It's not a health issue and if anything looks pretty cool

    Thanks everyone, good to know that it's ok. I thought it looked cool, but I didn't want to sit here admiring it if it meant that something was wrong with her.
