I’m by no means any expert. I used to have boas years ago. Thought I had 2 girls. Came home one day to one giving birth. Obviously not 2 girls. But anyway they had several with a merged pattern in the saddles. I was told by a friend (real snake breeder) who said it’s a rare genetic abnormality. The 2 boa that breed together were different. One was a Columbia red tail. The other was a Surinam red. The female was the Surinam.

This girl is just a standard retic though she has some dwarf. She was sold as an axanthic tiger morph

No locals mixed in barring the dwarf

Are you sure they said axanthic and not anthrax? Because axanthic means no yellow pigment, and your girl clearly has some nice golden yellows. Also, I've never heard of the axanthic morph in reticulated pythons, only other species.

I definitely see some anthrax in there. Maybe an anthrax tiger?

But IMAGINE they got a pristine CRK Seb and a Slysz Bowie for tree fiddy.

Looks like an Anthrax Tiger to me. There are a lot of untracked genes (like eye color, nose shape, overall color, etc) you can see a lot of variability in "normal" retics that you don't see in say, ball pythons.
