Pied help

[nikkubus]

Doesn't look like YB or OD pied to me, looks like plain pied. Pied doesn't just add white patches, it really condenses the color up into the areas that have it, so you see much brighter colors than you ever would on a normal. As they grow, that orangey color does really tame down, but as babies they can be pretty bright in the side areas.

Take a look at some OD and YB pieds and you will notice not only how much brighter they are, but how the black surrounding the dorsal stripe behaves. OD have a lot less black there, where YB have much more defined thick black with less of the smoky/blushed look.

The way I see it, snakes almost never have anything the breeder didn't say they do and I consider them as such until breeding them and proving they have something else going on, even if they really look like they might. Breeder knows what he paired, if there was any question she was od or yb based on parents and he just couldn't identify it, he would say something like "Pied pos YB pos het ghost" to let you know there is a chance. They don't want to give you extra morphs for free, at the very least they would want an edge over another person selling a pied at the same price, right?

All that said, she is gorgeous! No two pieds look exactly the same, and you got a really nice one. I really like her little anchor-shaped stripe tip at her head, that's pretty unique.
