not sure if its the same but my hog island boa gets very dark before he goes into shed its almost a reddish haze he has so I call it his red phase its crazy he looks so cool during shed and he looks awesome after shed when he gets super light! I think I have one of the cleanest Hogs around so I am very proud of him. But I think its a bit different from when my balls go into shed because they get like a ghostly look and they get really dark. My biggest girl almost looks like black axanthic when shes in shed! Im not sure how it is for the big mainland BCIs though...![]()
