"Just got him, mother normal het sunglow..father sunglow het lavander"
Well, from your breeding, yours will be a normal phenotype that is 100% het for sunglow(amel), poss. het lavender, but this all depends on if the hypo gene was a composite of the "sunglow" parents. Many times it is added to the equation, but they originally came from line-bred animals with very little to no white around the saddle blotching. Since that time, they can also typically have the hypo gene as well as this was added to help ensure less white on the offspring as possible. So yours there could also in fact be het for hypo as well.
Don't quite go with the coined name "panther" thing though, but it DOES look like what are sometimes known as "milksnake" phase, or "Banded" phase corns. The pic is pretty grrenish-hued, so it is a bit dificult to see exaxtly what it's true coloring is, but it still won't change the fact of it being a more normal type that has a more wide saddled look.........I like it!
