Maverick.. BP colour change?

[lady_bug87]

Ok so my hubby pulled Maverick our BP out for a bit of exercise (he just recently shed) and I noticed that his colours are changing. Maverick was sold to me in 2010 as a normal I believe he was hatched early that year as he came to me on small rats. He has since been moved to mediums.

I have noticed that over time the spots on his spine have become lighter almost like a Tan instead of gold and his side markings are receeding. Instead of the gold going all the way down it fades to green speckled with yellow about 1/3 of the way from the bottom. His head is changing colour too. When we got him it was a chocolate brown and now its changed to almost a tan as well. He is also turning white. There are spaces between his side markings are lightening some of them are actually grey with all white scales.

His eyes were all black before and now I see a hazel iris

Has anyone else seen drastic colour changes in BPs?
