    I've seen many Normals start to get the white outline around their alien heads as they get older. My Normal guy is just starting to get his now.

    What ever it is, it really looks cool! At least it's not browning out!

    Naw, I think it'll be just fine, and may turn out pretty cool.

    Dale... you're asking about the white line that is cutting THROUGH the alien head right? not the etching around it?

    It is neat looking.

    No answers here though.

    Re: is this normal?

    No idea if it is similar, as yours seems to be so specific in patterning, but I think we have all seen those snakes that get white scales sporadically as they age.

    I think I have around 3 that just randomly lose color in a few scales here and there and it does not come back.
