We were told when we bought her she is a orange dream fire pied yellow belly het clown. I absolutely trust who i got her from but that doesn’t mean the breeder they got her from was honest. Ive looked up several others and none are as dark as she is. She only has one little pied spot by her tail. Please any insight is appreciated!!

Hey there! I’m gonna be honest, it’s hard to tell based on this picture. If you could get a couple of pics of her on a flat surface where we can see her whole body (in good natural lighting) that would be super helpful.
Based entirely on this picture, I don’t believe she’s a visual pied, I think she is just het pied with a ringer. Het clown we couldn’t tell you. As for the other genes, I really can’t make a determination from this angle. Did the breeder tell you what genes were in the pairing that made her?

I’d also get in contact with the breeder and ask what the pairing was that produced this baby.
I can’t say for sure everything thats going on but the head is a nice light caramel color, thats what immediately stood out to me.

I’ll try to get better pictures tomorrow. She’s in a sterile enclosure being treated for mites at the moment and its taking time for her to settle in, so I really have been trying to keep handling to a minimum right now. Shes finally relaxed enough to go stretch out in her hide so dont really want to bother her atm. The person we got her from owns an exotic pet store but he buys and sells so im not even sure what breeder she came from. I would have to see if i can find out. We’ve gotten all 3 of our snakes from them.

Oof. That sucks about the mites. Especially if the person runs a shop… If you purchase goods there I would be careful about any type of bedding or decor. They can also carry mites. They wander quite a bit sometimes.

Awwww poor little girl! Definitely get those nasty mites gone before anything else! She deserves to be in a mite free healthy environment! I’m so glad you have her now. And as @armiyana said in so many words, be wary of that pet store!

Sooo these are the best she will let me get right now. She had to get a soak today and is still very displeased about it.

Ooooh she’s really pretty!
Looking at her pattern and darker color has me thinking she’s Cinnamon Fire OD YB het Pied het Clown.
Comparing to others with the same gene list she shares the light caramel head and darker contrast… since we don’t have any pairing info a shed test from RGI may be your best bet, and I’d test for Cinnamon first.

Looks black pastel to me rather than cinnamon, but I agree with fire OD YB het pied and likely het clown.

I may take her outside tomorrow and see if i can get a better picture these arent showing how much bright orange she really has.
If im not able to get the breeders info, cant i send off her shed for test and get a definite answer?
Yes, you can order a shed test through RGI. You can either do a multi morph panel or a single morph panel. If I were you I’d do the multi morph panel since you don’t have much info on this little one.
