Hello! This girl is from ALS Reptiles, and I can’t wait to get her next week!
The breeder is curious, as am I, about her morphs. Originally he thought platinum motley white phase albino het anery, but got some comments asking if she was also sunfire. The father is a platinum motley anery het white albino, and the mother (as far as he thought previously) is a white phase albino… but she does appear to have a lot of the ring shaped markings common with sunfire, no? Same with my female, pictures 1 & 2, and many of her siblings. Pictures 3 & 4 are the mom, and 5, 6 & 7 are the dad. I also included a couple of her siblings after the dad’s photos.
Thank you in advance!

can’t say for 100% certainty without a future test breeding or genetic test.
but looking closely at her pattern, she really seems to look like a
Platinum Motley Sunfire White Phase Albino (100% Het Anery)
Im not for certain with sunfire but here’s something you’d find in a Sunfire: As you move down the snake’s body, the side patterns (rosettes) begin to fade out, compress, or disappear entirely. By the last third of the snake near the tail, the side markings completely detach from the bottom belly line, leaving only the top dorsal pattern . Since Motley already reduces patterns, adding Sunfire often results in an exceptionally clean, heavily faded look toward the tail. (this might help you figure out if we think its Sunfire or not)
Hope this helps :D!!

My gal is 67.5 % Kalatoa so the markings are a bit different, but she’s only carrying white albino and you can see how the white albino affects her. Mom looks fairly similar.
The wide rosettes on mom’s side is the normal white which was surrounded by black. Because she’s albino those rosettes look double in size. My gal had more yellow colored rosettes, so hers don’t look quite as wide but the flames from the belly show more white.
Your girl looks to be motley platty white albino to me when I compare them to what has been previously on MM. Sunfire could still be possible I suppose, but that would be a shed test when Sunfire is available since it could be difficult to ID in Anery or White albino.

I haven’t really seen any platinum motley white albinos on MM, with no other traits. This however looks strikingly similar to mine and a few others, though it doesn’t have platinum. Which in my mind, could be the cause for her head being nearly white, as that seems to be really the only noticeable difference.

Retics color up a lot as they grow so I can’t really say
