I am a ..... ?

After months of doing my best to not be horribly jealous of my daughter's snake I finally have my own! Was a late birthday gift from my mother so unfortunately is from the pet store and I have limited information. What I do know is she(??? is what we are going with for now until her vet appointment at the end of August) is about 10 months old, has been at the pet store since December 2 and was still eating pinkies! Was a lot (8 at a time) of pinkies, but still pinkies, we have moved her up to fuzzies and will gradually progress up to the size she should be at.

I have worked out that she is a stripe, kind of obvious there, but I am having trouble pin pointing the colour, so here are pics (bad pics, my phone sucks).

There was a lot of difficulty getting a belly shot (my phone REALLY sucks) this was the best of the bunch. I don't know if it is important but there is a sort of metallic sheen down the middle in any sort of bright light.

Best head shot I could get.

I am thinking butter or caramel though I have no idea what the actual differences between the two are.

Looks like you have a lovely caramel stripe! Caramel morphs are, IMO, some of the most beautiful out there!

Here is a page where you can see some pictures of other caramel stripes and get an idea of how your snake will look as s/he grows: http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/caramel_stripe/

Butter would be caramel + amel and thus would result in red eyes.

So that's the difference! THANK YOU! You have no idea how long I searched for that! lol
