Something strange in the neighborhood:

Something strange in the neighborhood:

So I am fortunate to get this little fella in Daytona a little over a month ago and have been feeding him about once a week. Today I pull open his drawer to check him out, he is opaque. This is him normally:

Another shot of his special "skills":

And a final view of his possible hidden treasures:

So today I had quite a surprise when I looked at him. Believe me when I say these photos do not show the odd transition I see in this fellow from his sides to his top. I have seen this strange contrast in animals before that have those "Calico" looking sides but that was no real surprise. Look at this:

A weirdity at least and perhaps a positive omen of more bazaarities to come... Who knows?

Any prognostications?

Prognostication:
There appears to be evidence of random white scalation
There appears to be high levels of dorsally lateral white scalation
There appears to be an infusion of developing white scalation along midbody, which is viewed as a bluish grey color in the pics, and has the potential to develop into high white scalation as developmental color changes noted for the species continues
There appears to be possible low expression "pie bald" genetics.
There appears to be one dedicated BOAPHILE.
Jeff, Look for an email from me..., You have taught so many, so well,that I would like to share with you for your future teachings.
I know,that you know,you have a "lucy" in the making.
PS Nothing will ever leave Brazil legally. My friends animals were confiscated and he was told it is not possible to breed animals for export.
