I'm probably aquiring this snake in the near future and would like to know its exact species/subspecies. I've looked ar quite a few photos but the patterning hasn't been right for any of them. The seller believes her to be an Andean but isn't entirely sure either. Any help would be appreciated.

It could certainly be an Andean Milk though I'm not a pro with this genus. The Guatamalan looks close but there is just so much variability. Take a look at this page and find the ones that look pretty close then do a google image search on the latin names of your results. I'd say just use the pics on the site but again, there is so much variability that the species represented by a single picture on that site may be misrepresented by an abnormal speciman

That doesn't look like andesiana to me.
I'm not sure it isn't a hybrid since the head is wrong for a milk.
Post on the milksnake forum (if you haven't already) and those guys will nail it.
