Yes, the orange wash from the incandescent lighting does make the colors off, but now that I see the entire pattern of the snake, it looks to be a "Bubblegum" ratsnake. They were first developed by Bill Love way back around 1990. They are an amel form of Yellow rat x Black rat x Everglades rat. They can be extremely variable as well, and range from almost a solid pink with little pattern, to very light pink with very noticeable pattern(or very little), vivid orange/pink, and any combination thereof.

Here is just one example from Bill Love's old school line of bubblegum rats. If you do a google "image search", you will see what I mean about their variation. I have seen lots of these over the years, and I knew several people that used to breed them.

Good luck with it!
