Thought she was a butter, but NOT! Any thoughts?

cream

Looks like a nice cream you have there. I see a lot of rootbeers and creams with a heart for the "spearpoint." My thought are that this is just a creamsicle. It does have some nice colors in the saddle borders.

Could maybe be a cream? The creamsicle girl I just got from Tim at Ultimatecornsnakes has that heart-shaped head pattern too.

One of my other girls is similar(ish) in color, but doesn't have that frosted look.

Head patterns...

I don't give much credence to the head pattern being a tell at all. If it were, you cold identify all kinds of morphs by head patterns.
If she began life as a yellow snake and THEn added the reds, something unusual is happening. You should hang onto several of the babies to compare as they age. They should look odd and interesting in a year or so.

Yes. That's what we decided to do.

One of the babies is an amel. Holding it next to a sure amel, you can't tell a difference.
But the rest are very yellow/orange. This past weekend, we setup at a show and the vendor next to me had both baby and adult creamsicles. They looked nothing like what I have here. Not even close.
Not that these couldn't still be creamsicles, but compairing them in real life, shows me that if they are creamsicles, they are very, VERY yellow.
We have a "high yellow creamsicle" male that is a pet. He has an all white background. So that doesn't compare well with these either.

Maybe just another hybrid, like several here suggested. Right now, I am holding on to both clutches, (the female double clutched on me). I'll let them get some size, and a few sheds in. See what they look like in a few months. I'll update with photos.

Thanks for all the help,
Troy Dozier
