Hey all,
Around the start of last year one of my adult male BHPs developed a couple of white scales, i didn't take much notice and expected them to go away with the next shed.
The next shed came more white spots  I wasn't to worried as he was eating well and being his normal cranky self.
Anyway i've since learned that his color loss is a trait from his bloodline where they loss the ability to produce melanin when they get older.
For those who are interested heres a few progress pics from start to a couple of weeks ago when he last shed. Enjoy 
Before any color loss. 
About 8 months after first color loss. 
The most recent shed about 2 weeks ago. 
Another 
Heres a tail pic which has lost almost all it's color. 
Who knows how much he will lose but it's very exciting when he comes up for shed, anyway thats my little morph i guess you could say

He looks all over the shop at the moment, each shed he's loosing more and more, i think once he gets more advanced he'll look great, he lost his first patch of color on his head last shed, a small patch under his jaw, he also has some large patches on top of his head which should start going white or pink in the next few sheds, can't wait for that.

Na Ricko he's from Neil Sonnemann, i spoke to Neil about him a while ago, he has a female doing the same thing at the moment from the same bloodline i think. Strange creatures.

He should lose the color in his head as well, i guess it could be different for each speciman that it happens to but the others that i have seen have lost the color in their heads as well.
I'm going to get him out over the weekend for some pics on the lawn, he doesn't like getting his photo taken much lol.
