...In one of my surinames. She had just bred and was going back on feed when a few weeks (maybe three weeks into it) she regurgitated and then went immediately into a shed. That shed she lost all of her color. She started out like this as far as color goes...





then after the shed she looked like this.....





As far as I could figure out the rat was toxic (and/or) a bit too large for her so quickly after her delivery which caused the regurge. She may have crawled over the regurgitated rat and the digestive enzimes my have covered her and chemically burned her.

As far as it being perminant, it looks like her color is getting better each time she sheds.....this is how she looks now (a few months later)...



Sorry for the long read and good luck with your boa
