Het Russo?

[CombatWombat]

Good Afternoon everyone,

I need your help in IDing this ball python. (my fiance's hands in the photo)
I just picked up this little one from someone who couldn't care for it any longer and they told me it was a het russo.

It's not a gene that I've worked with before and I've been told that the high white fading on the sides is a marker for this. But I'm just not sure.

I would love some imput. Thank you in advance.

Looks to have the characteristics, but always hard to tell if not in person. Breed it out to be positive. Good luck.

Do you have any overall pics of the back?

Looks like a normal. Russos have way more noticeable blushing on the sides and are lighter colored.
