PS view below one post to see a much more accurate picture of her colour
I would say that's a normal eastern and what I said about the color would apply. Shannon was talking specifically about flames and that is not polygenic but does some variance in shade and intensity. Like she was saying, it depends on what is causing the color. In your case, the orange snake is just a normal and the color is the result of polymorphism. He could have come from a litter that produced snakes that were variable in color and pattern. He just happened to come out orange as he matured. Other siblings of his might have turned out to look more typical of what you find in the area.
