Any thoughts?

So I am new to this forum. Thought I would come on here and see what you guys think.

Here's a little background info on this girl. Somewhere around 2000 or 2001 I was managing a local pet store that the owners decided to close. I was given most of the remaining reptiles in the store by the owners. Kept a lot of them, but wasn't really into BP's at the time. This girl was an import baby at the time and I had a friend that wanted a snake for their kid...so I gave it to them and helped them get it set up. A few years later I got out of the herps as the kids started to be born...needed the room. Now that the kids are a little older and getting into snakes, we got a few het albino BP's to get them started. A few months ago the friend contacted me and said that their kid lost interest in the snake and wasn't taking care of it. I felt responsible and said I would take it back...especially now that we are starting to breed ours and figured it would be great if it was a female. Went to pick it up and was a little surprised for two reasons. One was that it was extremely small for it's age and two her color and pattern. They were feeding her on a regular schedule, but the size of meals she was getting were obviously way too small. She's already grown a bunch and turned into a garbage disposal...never refuses a meal. She's pushing 1200 grams finally. Debating if I should try to get a little more size and breed her a little later in the season or just wait till next year.

Obviously we will breed her out to see if it's genetic, but thinking it might be something since not everyone was looking for all the different subtle morphs in the imports 10-12 years ago. Any feedback would be appreciated. Sorry for the long post!

my first thought was lesser but I'm so sure anymore. defiantly a good looking snake. Maybe a really nice fire?

Whoa.. almost struck me as being a Mojave but I'm not sure... one sweet looking snake none the less!

I'd definitely be dinking around with that.

What males do you have to put to her?

I have a normal female with a neck that faded but she certainly doesn't have flames like that.

I'd be thinking of trying her to a mojo, fire or pastel.

Hopefuly someone will chime up with a better idea. :D

Looks like a busy mojave...clear, whole body pics would be helpful though. Worth breeding and fooling around with.

Yea I would definitely dink around with her. She is gorgeous!

Oh, I LOVE your dog trying to pose in the background. He/she is absolutely beautiful :)

Here's the best I could get of her full body. Lighting isn't as good in the cage, but she won't sit still once she's out. She's weird...kinda dark on top, but light and blushed on the sides.

Yep! That's Kona. She always has to be the center of attention.

Kinda looks like a mystic or phantom but to me it's hard to tell through pics I don't believe it's a mojave could be a fire or even something new

Very nice Dinker! My initial thought was Mojave or Mystic/Phantom.
