    It's not a pied, as mentioned before there would be more orange color on the snake.

    Certainly not a pied, but that is some mad blushing on the sides, there.

    Do you mind flipping him off and taking a picture or two of his belly pattern? Particularly the mid-section and lower 1/2, down towards the tail?

    ... What they said :) Pied isn't just about white patches. You can have a ball with white patches that isn't a pied ... Like this neat thing here:

    ... He kind of looks like a pied, but not quite -- if you look at his patches of "normal" color, they're also of "normal" pattern, which actually isn't the case in a piebald.

    Pieds have a very cool and unique pattern all their own, which actually gets highlighted in the no-white animals since there's no pesky white to distract your eye. :rolleyes: Here's my no-white pied girl:

    Thanks everyone! This is what I was telling the peoples, but I said I'd post it(kind proving my points, lol).

    Yes, that little white-ish patch is exactly what I think the white dot will look like hwen he grows up. I'll flip him 'off' and get some pics of his awesome belly for ya'll too.

    I appreciate all the comments!

    Here is what a low white pied looks like.
    Even a Pied with no white is identifiable by its pattern. Yours is definitly a normal or Possible Het.

    SIDE NOTE: This crazy high white just crawled out of the egg....seriously, like 10 minutes ago.
