My Bucky is finally shedding today as well, it happened a lot faster than I thought. He looked normal this morning and I look at him an hour or two later and noticed he was very pale. Took a closer look and realized it was him shedding. It's an exciting and interesting thing to watch...

Young Sambava Colors - UPDATED
Here is Bucky showing some good color at 4.5 months old(he arrived yesterday from ataraxia via classifieds). Can't wait to see what he grows into!
