My new girl, I think she is pretty special, what do you think? Pics

I bought this new girl this weekend in Costa Mesa from Renegade Reptiles. She was listed as "Triple het" but I'm afraid I forgot what she was supposed to be het for, I was more interested in her interesting pattern and color. I plan to e-mail Renegade tomarrow and ask them to remind me, I *THINK* she was supposed to be het Anery, Amel, and Amber, but I'm really not sure. It was her beautifull color and markings that drew me to her.

She has no checking on her belly at all, and her color is a sort of beige with the "saddles" looking rather red, almost purple in the right light (Don't worry, I'm NOT implying she is a lavendar! Just trying to describe the color the way it looks to me!)

I'm really not sure if she would be a Motley or a striper or just an extra-pretty-but-nothing-special little lady. I was hoping for some further opinions. I think she is pretty special, but I'm the one who bought her so obviously I was enamoured of her early!

She is very nice. I have seen corns like that before and most people say they get them in F2 from crossing stipes and motleys. But not everyone gets that result. And BTW, if she was het amel, anery, and amber, she'd be a quad het... amel, anery, carmel, and hypo.
Congrats!

I'm afraid I just don't remember what she is supposed to be het for. Her deli cup say's triple het, and the nice lady told me what she was triple het for..........but I was just so fascinated with her neat look I just plain old forgot what she said!

I'll write today and ask, as I really would like to know!

Oh, I would agree w/you 100% What a beauty! I love her color and markings. She's definitely a special one!
