Gray on amels

My amel just shed this last weekend. I noticed that she now has a gray, "salt and pepper" coloration to some scales on both of her sides. She also has some gray scales on the backside of a few of her saddles.

She's active and healthy, eats well, and her tank temp is 82-86 on the hot side, 70-72 on the cool side and the humitidty is 68-72%.

Is this coloration normal? I thought amels didn't show black, so how can they show grey? Is she just showing me another "newbie surprise"?

I'm trying to get a picture, but she won't hold still long enough!

Thanks,
Kevin
 
Yeah, it does look like that, but the snake in the picture has darker markings than mine does. My snake has more of a primer gray color rather than the darker color in the picture.

Thanks,
Kevin
 
Must be a wierd gene you tripped on. Could be some wierd speckling gene, or a calico gene. I wonder if Kat will respond to this one, she's the genetics expert on this forum.
