    Looks like a Sunfire to me, they tend to get lighter as they age (more orange)
    What size prey is he eating and how often? He kind of looks a little underfed to me in the last pic but it just might be the angle

    The Petshop mentioned he was a Platinum, but to be honest I don't think they really knew much about them.

    He was fed I am told every week on Medium Mice.

    I fed him last Saturday on 2 x Small Mice, and this Saturday on 3 x Small Mice

    Oh, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about the morph, he looks kinda like the sunfire I used to have :) you should feed him rats, mice don't have much nutrition for a snake that size. To me he looks like he could eat a weaned or small rat every 7 days

    I'd guess platinum too. He will got a lot brighter. Should have nice bright yellows and silvers when he matures. I'd also up his food size to one prey item instead of multiple mice. Can't tell exactly from the picture but I'd try a small rat. Depending on where you get your rodents from a lot of places sizes will vary so just look for something that will leave a little lump in him. You'd be surprised how much retics can eat.

    Looks like a platinum to me. I almost bought a platinum tiger before i bought Caesar. Anyways at 4 months old, he should easily be on small rats. I got Caesar at 5 months old and he was on small rats. He does look a little on the thin side to me. And like Shane said, he should brighten up on the silvers and yellow when he gets older.

    Here is Gene at right around 2 years old. He is a platinum. Besides his eye color it looks a lot like a platinum.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...69ee6db7e6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5be6ec819e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e195639d8e.jpg

    Rats it is then :gj:

    And WOW. Look at the Colour on Gene. If my Snake turns out like that I will be one happy owner :D

    Is Gene a smaller breed of Retic? I just expected at 2 for them to be much bigger?
