Crimson Corn??

I bought this corn as a hatchling, she has always had the high white on her. I was guessing that she looks like a crimson corn. Any ideas??

Her name is Vitani, she escaped one night after I fed her (forgot to put the locks back on her cage) She was gone for a month and a half when one night my son said to me, "Mama, why is there a snake coming out of the ceiling?" Sure enough, I look up and she is crawling out in between a gap in the trim, I jumped up and tore the piece of trim off, but she had managed to crawl back in the gap in between the wall and the ceiling above my bed. So later that night at around 2 in the morning the cats were going crazy so I knew she had emerged. I jumped up and she was curled around the trim, so I grabbed her real quick, she bit me, but at least she was found! It took her another couple weeks before she would eat from the ordeal, but now she is back to normal!

Wow, what a story! Glad you got her back safe and sound, what a relief! She's quite pretty! How 'bout maybe she's a Miami phase? That's just what popped into my mind right away when I saw her. But I'm still new at this.
 
I though that at first too, but a lot of the hatchling miamis that I have seen from reputable breeders have seemed to have more of a grayish tint the the white, whereas hers seems to be more of a peachy white tone... I'm not sure though either, I have read several genetics books and all of the love books, but I truly believe the best way to learn is from experience! I was going to try to breed her with my Amel Motley, to prove any hets and possibly produce some Candy canes because of her high white.
 
A miami of good lineage will look just like that. Nice white background, crimson saddles, and beautiful black borders. Not a crimson, but it is definitely a miami-type.
