Banded?

Hi! I wonder if one would call this corn "banded amel"? I bought her this summer and just love her look:) She's more orangelooking in real life than in these pics, not red like the usual amels, so we named her "Fanta":)

I wouldn't call her a banded snake, but maybe an amel milksnake phase. She does seem to have saddles that are a bit "beefed up". The banded look is a polygentic mutation. This means that it is NOT caused by a single genetic mutation. It is more like aztec or zigzag/zipper. Banded corns will tend to throw hatchlings that tend towards the banded look. It also seems that bandeds seem to have petternless bellies, similar to diffused, stripe, and motley corns. A true banded corn will have no side pattern, and the saddles will wrap around down the side of the snake, and meet the ventral side.
