This is whats going to happen......
It is going to lose a bit more and a bit more of the pigment and turn into a grey /white patches. Then one day you will check ont he snake and it will be 90% black and grey. With the top dorsal part of teh snake still regular color but with little flecks of grey and what not in it.
You will then have a "changing" ball. No one knows what causes this but it happens rather often.
Someone posted a pic of one not to long ago.
It will remain like that till next shed. After next shed it will be 100% grey and black.
After that is will start getting dark pigment, etc in the grey areas. The dark pigment will come in with a weird cream yellow color.
It will shed a few times, each time it sheds it will lose the grey and it will be filled in with that creamy color and black.
It will end up very similar to Ralph Davis dirty joe BUT it is not the same thing as dirty joe was born black and grey.
It is very weird and cool, once it is done changing it will be very much like what most people call an IMG. I call them DMG and IMG balls....as they decrease in melanin and then increase into it again.
The ones the snakeepers talk about have random pink dots all down the lower half of their sides. I had one and it changed into a clico animal. I sold it before it hapopened though.
Good luck with your snake, it will surpridse you and dont listen to the sarcastic posts people posted or will post, they have no idea. I have lots of experience with this weird unproven "trait" and can verify that I ahve seen exactly what you have posted turn into what is described above.
