    Help me identify pet store mislabel

    I'm interested in this girl, but the local mom and pop pet store has her mislabeled as a champagne. I know it's not a champagne, but I'm not good enough at identifying genes to pick this one out. Can you help?

    No champ there at all.
    The only way you will know for sure is to contact who they bought it from.

    Looks like a reduced pattern pastel.

    I have a pastel het piebald like that...

    yours has an even weirder pattern though, almost reminiscent of a pinstripe. I'd pick her up if I were you, she's stunning.

    Oh for sure definitely not a champagne, lol. The guys response was "The boss labels them and I don't argue."

    I have a pastel and they look nothing a like. This one is much more of a chocolate color. He said the breeder stops in about every other week so he's going to ask for sure because I flat out told him I liked it, but I won't buy it without knowing it's genes. She's marked at $159.99.

    I'm so terrible at genes, but what do you think about maybe a cinny, phantom or mystic?

    ETA: her eyes are not green so I don't believe pastel. They are dark brown.

    To be fair, not every pastel has the green eyes. I've got a pretty little gal who has brown eyes myself.

    I am still working at getting all of the co-dom morphs down for myself...but my guesses would be pastel or fire. But lower expressions on either gene.
    A unique snake for sure, but soooo not a champagne. Unless they were confusing it with how some other animals(not ball pythons) can be named champagne for lighter color expressions.

    Definitely not champange, pastel, cinny, phantom, mystic, or fire. My best guess would be hidden gene woma.

    I can get behind that. Especially since I know the guy has sold HGW through the pet store before so I know it's in his stock.

    I agree here. This was my guess before reading the other posts.
    Nothing
