I'm a little confused.
shouldn't a candy cane have contrasting bright red (or orange) on a stark white.
The brighter the color, whiter the white and cleaner the transition between saddles and background, the better the candy cane?
Wouldn't a faded pattern be exactly opposite of what a candy cane should be?
It sounds like a very interesting snake and I would love to see pics but it just doesn't sound like what I have seen described as candy cane.
I haven't, and don't keep up with candy canes and their progression, though, so I could be way off base, here.

One thing...turn of the CAPS
it is considered rude, as if yelling, to keep your CAPS on like that.
It sounded as if the pattern down the whole length was faded ending in a white tail. I didn't realize it was just fading in the tail.
Sounds better when you mention no yellow and bright white and red most of the way down the body.

sorry about the caps i have to cap up to sign in and just dont think about, and i dont read too far into online rudeness as far as use of capital and lower case letters, not a big deal to me, but anyway, yeah, she still had bright red and the usual head and neck and mid body markings but it just starts reducing towards the tail

What I have found is that you can either use all caps, no caps, or regular caps to sign in. It is not case specific, in other words. Sometimes when I am feeling formal, I will sign in as: PHFlame, but for regular times, I use all lower case.
