white sided granite?

Hiya, can anyone tell me if this is a white sided granite? He is het pied, im pretty sure he isn't pied though, as there are no pure white scales.

He has just shed and is even more pale down his sides.

 
I would call that a nicely diffused granite. There use of the term white-sided, I think, should really only apply to exceptionally expressed animals. That last sentence is not meant to sound condescending.

I think Angela (ratsncorns) and Jessica (jessicat) have great examples of white-sided granites. Tom Tuttle produced some last year too.
 
White-sided is also a recessive trait found in rat snakes. I'm guessing people are using it to describe diffuse combinations that look similar to the rat snake trait.
 
I would refrain from calling any pied sided or granite a whitesided. Hopefully one day there will be a cornsnake truly deserving of that title.:cool: Of course when that happens I'm certain someone will call it a Hybird.:awcrap:
