My first little boy!

I would actually say that most amels (amelanistics) I see are more orange. It is hard to tell creamsicles from Amelanistics sometimes however creamsickles should have more of a yellowish orange to them than amels. You've got a beautiful little MOTLEY amelanistic which I think are really cool.

So your snake is actually Motley Amel het butter. Butters are beautiful yellow snakes that yet yellower as they mature. If you ever want to try breeding him, I would recommend purchasing a female butter motley. That way, half of the hatchlings should come out looking like motley butters, and the other half will look like motley amels!

That's a very handsome little guy you have there, nice heart-shaped pattern on his head. My two little amels - Athena & Helo ;) - are quite orange as well. From your picture your guy looks like he has a normal pattern to me. He'll have a white belly (no checkers) if he's motley.
 
Normal Amel het Caramel is my vote. Without seeing the belly hard to be SURE on the motley thing, but most show more "motley" pattern than that.

Here is my Amel het caramel stripe. She is VERY orange. :D

Yea... I would be somewhat surprised if the OPs snake ended up being a Motley..

When your snake settles in, we'd love more pictures, some of his/her belly as well. Sometimes it can be hard to see Amel belly checkers in younger snakes, they can be ligher. If you look around at pictures of Motleys vs. Amels though, you should be able to spot it yourself.

Sounds like you're doing everything right so far. I'm glad to hear you're following the settling in husbandry suggestions!
