[decensored]

Looks to me like it could be an axanthic.. Possibly TSK line. IMO

[Slim]

I'm thinking Axanthic as well...

[aalomon]

Looks like and IMG to me.

[Serpent_Nirvana]

I agree that he looks like an "IMG." My understanding is that this is possibly genetic, but very difficult to prove out for a few reasons, not the least of which is that most IMGs don't change color until they are a year or two.

[Pedy9970]

keep on coming guys, tnx alot

[h00blah]

Looks pretty sweet! Have fun with THAT dinker .

[Pedy9970]

btw my guess is this is an 08 or 09 ball

[WingedWolfPsion]

Agreed, this looks like a normal ball python that shed out all of its color. IMG can cause this, but it has a few other unknown causes as well.
I would wait a couple of months and see what happens. If the color starts to come back in normally, it was a fluke (or diet, etc). If it comes back in accompanied by increasing amounts of black flecks, then it's IMG (increasing melanin gene).

Once you see a few animals that look like this, you can tell them apart from morphs. The color loss is 'rough', and uneven.

Def a color loss or "IMG" ball python. It's not genetic as far as anyone has been able to prove anyways. We had a pair that we were working with. They are cool looking nonetheless.
