Great Info Mitch....
Something very similar but different is occurring with some Mex Mex that originated in El Valle de los Fantasmas, SLP, Mexico.
These originated from a founding stock that Bob Applegate acquired years ago. Bob sold offspring from these but I don't know if he ever line bred them. Due to some line breeding a strange phenomenon has occurred.
I believe them to Hypoerythristic. They hatch out with red saddles and loose their red PIGMENT over time. Some even lose all their red pigment with age and look Anery. The males seem to be more pink and the females seem to be more lavender.....
Here are some photos:
Around 6 months old....
