I have this 06 Female out of my collection and today while I was cleaning out cages, I noticed this dramatic color change in her (she just shed last week also). You can actually see on the spine area, where the color is leaving. I deemed her as a normal but always thought her blue eyes and fading was beautiful but I never proved her out nor has she ever been bred. I am actually dumbfounded as to 6 yrs and this color change is going on now. Any other pros out there can figure this one out? I understand some Axanthics fade like this but never this dramatic and sudden?
The side by side photo is a before and after so you can clearly see how dark she used to be..I just noticed this color change and this happened within 2 weeks.
I also noticed and found this forum by this latest topic about color fading and was curious on everyone's opinion if this animal falls into the same issue as well. http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/epicrates/87158-sudden-color-fade.html

I'm sorry to be of little to no help here.
I just wanted to say that she looks very nice with the faded colors...
And IMO, she looks almost like a pastel to me, almost.

Great looking BP, odd eyes.
