Beauty of a amelanistic tessera but .......it doesn't look like a candycane version of a amelanistic to me. Matter of fact it looks like it will gain much more red/orange in his background as he matures.
 
I agree, Frank. This snake is incredibly vibrantly colored. A candycane should be a start red and white or orange and white.
OP, this will sell better if you change the labeling of it.
 
It is not a candycane. That you cannot apparently tell the difference between a regular amel tessera and a candycane tessera is a concern.

You are disrespectful rude and argumentative I will not respond to you because of that.

Father of was a high/wide white tessera reverse okeetee, mother is a high white candy cane.

Parents not withstanding, the definition of "candycane" is a snake with white and red or orange. No yellow or orange in the white areas. The pictured snake does not fit that description. It's an amel.
 
With the doubt that has been cast upon this male I decided to raise him up and breed to 1 or 2 of my candy cane females. I do have much better candy cane terresa males than this guy but now I'm curious to see what hatches.
 
So, if you look at this snake, you can see how clean he is, and still, I'm not labeling him as a "candycane," because I got burned by how a really nice candycane-appearing hatchling eventually developed. If you search on here for "candycane tessera," you'll find a couple of his offspring. I didn't even sell those as candycanes. You don't want your customers to be disappointed down the line when the snake develops a ton of color.

I have to agree with this assessment. I have raised up a boatload of Candy Cane Corns over the years, and the marker I found most relevant to how the background color was going to turn out was the amount of orange coloration along the dorsal area immediately behind the head. The further down the spine the orange coloration extended, and the more intense it was as a hatchling, the more overall background orange coloration the snake would have as an adult.

I'm not saying this is an absolutely infallible method, but it was pretty darn accurate, with NO exceptions that I can recall.
