Opinions needed: Creamsicle?

Is this a Creamsicle or just a really orange Amel in your opinion? I picked her up last night at a local Petsmart, if you can believe that. Healthy and flighty, but calming down after a few minutes. I noticed she is a lot faster and stronger than my other two.

thanks.
 
It's really hard to say conclusively. I've seen some very diluted creamsicles (from cs x amel breedings) that look a bit like this, but I've also seen very orange amels that are unlikely to have any hybrid blood. It could be yellow jacket at work.
 
Creamsicle corn snakes are hydrids and because of that there can be a lot of variation in color and head shape due to how much percentage of its genetics is corn snake or emorys rat snake.
As a hatchling if they listed it as a creamsicle then I would go with creamsicle.

I have an adult that is a perfect creamsicle color. :)
 
Amels have a HUGE range of color variety. Extreme Reverse Okeetee? Amelanistic. "Sunglow"? Amelanistic (well.. some may argue that Hypo is also involved). Candy Cane? Amelanistic.

What I'm trying to say is that just because your Amel is orange does not mean that it is a Creamsicle. Unless you have information from its breeder I would not jump to that conclusion.
 
And now we have this new weird strain of amel with basically no orange at all...

Amels are very common especially at the big box stores where creamsicles are somewhat uncommon but at this point I would say, just like the OP's snake, it is whatever they listed it as.

I also keep bubblegum rat snakes and just like the creamsicle the variation is a lot.
