Although it could be something like Calico coming out, or something else, if you said it happened overnight after a shed, I can only think of one thing.
I've seen this several times in Boas.
Whenever they endure extreme topical stress - ie. Overheating, extremely dank/dirty/moist conditions, rolling around in its own regurge (stomach acids), this triggers a shed cycle which then comes off prematurely, sometimes removing color and/or scales.
I've seen this with a hypo that was overheated, left on a doorstep in the sun.
That guy was a colombian hypo and then looked like a dark central american.
I also saw this with a red group pastel that was able to roll around in its regurge, and also with a boa that was attacked by a mouse.
Did the animal undergo stress like this recently?
Here's the red group before and after.
