Wow, that is a great looking snake! While the head and body look more cornish in that last set of pictures there is still something off about Star. It could just be that pattern is throwing me off, I dont know. Either way you have a great looking snake! I hope that if you do breed her that the pattern stays.

mmhmm it is an aztec pattern but I cant say I have ever seen it on just half a snake. They normally show it randomly through the body. The head does not show any aztec pattern that my boy does and he shows more of a zig-zag pattern then this girl but I know the breeding parents hold aztec.
UPDATE!!!!
I emailed Charles Pritzel with the latest pics above and a few more that weren't posted, total of 7 or 8 I think..lol.... here is the email I received from him copy/pasted....Although I love her no matter what cuz she is absolutely stunning. I was figuring she was normal, just with a super funky pattern. I figured who better to ask than the author of The Morph Guide...
Hi Deanna,
This type of pattern is an extreme (and good) variation of aztec. The more extreme expression like this is often accompanied by disruption of the ventral pattern. There can be missing checkers or long stretches of checkerless white or peppered black on the belly especially where the dorsal saddles tend to connect to each other.
The coloration is within the wide range of normal corn colors, so overall I would say it's probably "just" an aztec.
Again, it's a great aztec, most people would consider themselves lucky to hatch or buy one with that pattern.
Thanks,
Chuck Pritzel
