Doug,

Here's a quick example. These photos are of the same snake, taken roughly 1.5 years apart. This particular animal has not had the overall wash of dark pigment along it's sides, creating the grayish coloration we call "news printing", but has developed a black stippling over a clean ground color. The overall effect, in my opinion, is quite attractive.
