Sudden Color Fade

Neena, my understanding of this particular issue is that it is caused by a certain type of very fatty rat, and that the damage, once done, does not always reverse. So while a switch away from that provider/rat type would help, the switch to an alternate food source would not render further aid. Isaac's Ark, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I figured it couldn't be reversed, I simply meant that to keep any further fading from happening in general in any of their snakes. Just me being curious again. Sorry if I am just coming off annoying.

Not at all! I was unsure how much background you had on this issue, so was only trying to help in return. Apologies right back if any of my replies have offended!
