Congratulations on your first snake! Hopefully you have done your homework in advance, and will continue to learn how to best take care of her. Check out these forums for posts that answer any questions you may have, and then ask the ones that you can't find answers already posted.
Let her settle in for a week or two before messing with her too much. It's pretty hard to leave your first snake alone long enough to let it settle in...but it's important. When you do begin to handle her regularly, make sure that she gets a few days off after every meal to digest in peace.
Good luck, and congrats again. Duffy

Wow! I've never seen such a deep red coloration. She's a jewel.

Wishing you and your little friend the best,

She was sold to us as creamsicle but she doesn't really look much like the other ones I've seen

Looks candy cane to me...could be wrong.

A pic of more of the body would help, but I would have to disagree with candy cane (not enough white and to much red). Looks like and amel (albino) to me, but with that much red it should look great, never know might turn out to be a sunglow. That's hard to tell as a hatchling.
