In reality it seems closer to butter hatchlings than amelanistic hatchlings, but on the pic the orange is too vivid, which makes it closer to amels. Although I admit that her orange is a tad more vivid than the usual butter hatchling.
What can I say, I'll try to keep you updated as she grows up and confirms one way or another. I guess it will start to show more which way it's going by each shed now.

Re: New Butter
d'uh I know,
what I meant was that maybe it's a butter that doesn't look like one for now, but will eventually start to show that it's actually one.

Re: New Butter
While most baby butter corns don't usually look that orange, I have actually seen pictures of some that do. One well-known breeder that seems to have a particularly orange-looking line of butter corns is Jim Keenan. His website is at www.homegrownherps.com. Unfortunately, he seems to have taken some of his hatchling pictures down temporarily for updating. Maybe they will be back up soon. But I do believe that snake could be a butter... and it is very pretty!

Can you explain why you're certain though? just by the colours? or maybe head pattern or pattern etc?
Thanks again
It's the red color. A butter will have zero red, even as a hatchling/juvenile. So the fact that yours has red is a dead give away that its not a butter. It's possible it could be het for caramel if one of the parents was a butter.

I looked at his site and his "creamsicle butters" are the only one that mentions having any red colorings.So a normal butter(even his ) has no red in it ;).Here is the exact page i got the info from.
