Munchy,
You can never have a pied with a pure white head. The most white you can get is the head and a little bit of the neck....and that's it.

Corey-
Why? Is it just that it hasn't happened yet and doesn't look like its going too? Or is there some specific reason they don't have white heads?

Marisa,
It's just the way the gene works. The way I understand it is that the pigment is removed from the skin and it starts from the brain and works it's way down the body. For some reason the head can never get the pigment taken out of it....only from the neck down.

yeah, if all of the skin was white, then it would be luecistic, and luecistic bps are like male calico cats, if it happens they are geneticaly unstable, and die soon after hatching

All of the lucistic ball pythons produced in captivity (to date atleast 8 specimens) are still alive and doing well. Their has also been about 10 come out of Africa of which 1 died soon after hatching.

Just an FYI..........male calico cats, though extremely rare, are only flawed by being sterile and unable to reproduce. Other than this they can live perfectly normal and long lives.
