I traded for this girl last summer. The guy I got her from said she was a het russo. I researched them a little before making the trade and saw some potential I just wanted to get some other opinions on her. Do you think she looks like a het russo?

It could be!

I bet in person her pixilated pattern is way more apperant right?

I had a snake like that "het russo" and my camera no matter what lighting wouldent show how crazy the pixilation of her pattern was.

kinda hard to explain but i think shes nice GOODLUCK

I think it could be a russo het as well...they can be so subtle, and definitely hard to tell in a picture, especially alone with no reference point. The flames are nice, the white lining the alien heads is pretty pronounced.

I'd say it's possible, throw a male Mojo or lesser or russo to her and find out. Good luck

Thanks Collin. It really is hard to capture how crisp her colors and contrast are.

It definitely could be a normal. It's hard to tell because the het russo's can be so subtle, but they can make nice bels and opal diamonds.

I dont think the belly looks right for a russo. You could always ask Vin what he thinks.

He would definitely know! I may try that.

My proven female has a clear belly except near the vent area. Here is a video of her to get an idea. She just laid so she doesn't look great but you can see the belly area when I pull her off. Good luck.

I'm not real familiar with the russo characteristics. Do they all have clear bellies? Also what did you get out of that clutch in the video?

From everything I know they should have a clean belly. Here is a link of the description at VPI.

I do disagree with how clean the leucistic version is. I produced a BEL a couple years ago crossed with a butter that had a faint yellow dorsal stripe.

Here is the result of that clutch.
