Young corns scales going a fleshy color, is this normal?

My baby corn of about 3 months (4 months dec. 14) I've noticed that she has little "flesh" colored scales around her white spots......she is a motley amel..is it normal for some of her scales to be flesh colored?

Is this the amel snake you have listed in your signature? If so, it's probably normal. Many hypo or amel snakes show decreased pigmentation over time and scales become lighter.

As long as the scales are still lying flat, don't fall out, have their normal texture, and the skin sheds off of them easily I wouldn't worry too much.

Ok, yes it is the one on my signature. Well they are still flat, don't fall out, have normal texture and her sheds are wonderful...
I've noticed it ONLY around the white spots on her.....just thought I would ask. Thanks for the info!
