So what could my Opal Het Motley corn look like adult size?

I just ordered an opal het motley from Serpenco today. (So excited, she comes Tuesday!!)

I was wondering, I've seen lots of different results for opal corn snakes when put in the search bar here, as well as ask.com, google, ect.

Does anyone have a picture of what an Opal Het Motley would look like as an adult? I know Het Motley means it would basically be a 'hidden gene' and wouldnt change the appearence. So how would my little girl look in a few years? I know each snake is different ect, but is there anyone who has a pretty good idea?

Would she look like any of these? If so, which one would be the closest?

Or maybe one of the ones on this forum? (I know the 3rd post is a motley)

Or the opal in this first post

I dont know if adding those links made the question easier or more difficult, but I did so to try and help so people wouldnt have to completely search around.

Anyway, the easier question is will she have any sort of pattern or splotches, or would she be reletivly solid in color?

Thank you to everyone who answers ahead of time.
 
Basically your average Opal corn as an adult is a white snake with an oil on water sheen to it. All of the one's you posted are either very high end animals, like the one from Germany or babies which are very colorful compared to the adult counterparts. Rich frequently has said that Opals are basically white snakes. I know people who are breeding them for color retention so time may change that. Opals start off very peachy pink and become more white with each passing shed. They are pretty animals, if you like white snakes.

Thanks, I definatly plan to post pics. I was thinking of taking one every week for the first few months to mark the growth changes. ;) Maybe I'll put it together in a vid at some point.
