Opal or not?

[OregonSnake]

I bought this snake marked as an opal stripe from a local pet store. However, I've noticed that he has a lot more yellow on his sides than I've seen on lavender morphs. Can anyone tell me if he is an opal? Or if not, what more he probably is?

These are pictures of the day I got him. He's since been moved to a much larger home. I can also provide more pictures of his sides if needed.

I am sure members whit a better eye than myself will chime in, but it looks like an opal stripe to me.
Beautiful hatchling you have there! Congrats!

Good, clear, focused photos of the head, particularly the eyes would be pretty helpful as well.

Here's a couple more pictures. He's a nervous snake, so these are the best I can do.

For me, its just a snow (motley or striped)

I was thinking snow as well, especially after I saw that they mis-marked a ghost as a lavender. Thank you! He's pretty, snow or opal.

Looks snow stripe to me.

I'm going with snow. An opal wouldn't have yellow.

He's pretty, snow or opal.

Maybe it's a Snopal then

Snow it is! Thanks everyone. Would it be possible he could have one of the hypo genes? He seems pinker than other pictures I've seen of snows.

I'm not yet convinced that strawberry has any more effect on a snow than hypo A, so probably not. Could be 1x red factor, could just be selective breeding. He's young still, but he'll probably keep at least some of that pink.

My champagnes (selectively bred snow stripe) are very pink !
