Frank,

...This is very interesting. My anerythristic looking male Santarem was born in 2003 or 2004 (I am trying to remember which) and he looked normal colored for his first 18 months. The male I sold to you may be from the same litter. A couple of my breeder males came from Tom Davis and he has said that he think all the fuss over morphs is silly because he has had several snakes turn very light colored as they age. One of those males may have fathered these snakes. Hmmmm?

>>I am sure you remember the male Brazilian I got from you. I have noted that about 5 weeks ago his colors have change to the likeness of an anery. ( I do not think the snake is anery). The spots on his sides around his crescent has become solid white. They are usually red/orange looking depending on the snakes coloration. I have only raised a handful of Brazilians so, I never seen or heard of such a dramatic color change in an adult, he is definitely an Adult ( over ready for next season ) When I purchased him they where ared/orange, now they are bright white, and like I said his background color has changed to an anery type of color....

>>below Pic is to refresh you memory ( not saying you need memory refreshing). BTW this is not a temp / darkness color change, the snake has definitely changed colors. I would not say it is a permanent color change, due to the fact he changed colors as an adult already and may reinvent himself again. I do not own a camera yet ( slower than most people in the technological department) so no pic's are available at this time.
