Very cool looking! How old is he? Could he be a (young) yellow blush?

He is a 04.
I don't know what they call them .I haven't seen any like him.
Thanks Mike

I have a similar 04 male that has a ton of blushing. We plan on breeding him to a few sibling het blushes this year to see if it is inheritable...

Now, THATS what I've seen called a "Yellow Blush"! Beautiful Snake! How old? Have you had it since it was a hatchling? Is the yellow blushing increasing over time?

Sorry to ask so many questions. I'm very interested in these. From my understanding, they start out looking like any other albino, and the yellow increases as they age. And its apparently a double trait. Albino x IMG?

According to Morph King it is two traits but they believe it to be the albino trait mixed with the Hypo-Axanthic/Increasing Axanthic gene.

My Yellow blush is not related to theirs and has never been bred but I hope to produce a few of my own in 2007.

This picture is what I beleive to be a Het Yellow Blush with a normal het albino. She is very light and bright and also has a spot nose. This probable Het Yellow Blush is a sibling to the Yellow Blush male that was pictured...

Thanks for the info. Did you produce them? Do you have pics of the parents? You didn't mention if the yellow was increasing over time. That would support the IMG/Increasing Axanthic hypothesis?

Yes the yellow has come in more and more as he has grown. He was produced by Anthony McCain. Anthony has seen similar offspring from his line before.
