It's kind of like the question of how much yellow can a Candy Cane have before you can not call it a Candy Cane.
Ideally Milksnake Phases are banded, have low saddle count, are Miami colored, and have wide spaces of background color between their saddles. I have lots of Milksnake Phase that don't follow every single one of those requirements but I feel are still different enough to be called MSP. I have a feeling this girl's saddles will have a more banded appearance as she gets older, but in the meantime she meets all the other requirements and both parents are MSP. I'll be breeding her to a male that has great banding but is more of a "coral" color instead of this lovely red. I sure hope some of the offspring get his banding with her color.
