I have a Peruvian yearling that had a very messy stool smeared all over the cage. The next shed he looked like a "negative" of himself with tail colors that turned peach from maroon, ground color very black and white, no longer tan. Now a month later he's slowly starting to regain some original look. I don't know why it happens, but it's not genetic and presumably not permanent. Here's an older before pic, and now. mark
