Ultramel, Ultra, or just a sunglow?

Not really sure about this guy. He was also in the wholesale lot with the butters. He was labled as an Ultramel, but I haven't had too much experience with them, so I don't know what to think.

"looks" like other Ultramel's I've seen, of course only way to know for sure is through breeding trials... which I know doesn't help if you're looking to figure a price tag to sell him from the wholesale group.

Don't think I am going to sell him, I would just like to figure out the best things to pair him with, so I know if I have something already or need to get more.

Don't you always need to get more? How can you say you're a snake addict and not know you need more snakes?

I know I am a addict, and I know I will always get more, but I always try and deny it by telling myself that I will refrain from getting any more snakes.

It never works and I end up with more, but I still try.

Looks REAL similar to Carlos' Ultramel Mot in coloration, not necessarily the patterning.

I vote Ultramel based on looks alone. But no real way to be certain.

Could well be an ultramel as claimed. Doesn't look like an amel (sunglow) to me, the eyes are too dark. Breeding trials are necessary to be certain on ultramel vs. hypo A, but given his appearance and given he was labeled as an ultramel, I'd say that he probably is.

Is that small bit of border on his tail purply-grey ish? (Sorry for the 2nd grade sounding discription, can't think of any other way to describe my ultamel's borders.)
I can't really tell from the picture very well but it kind of looks like an ultramel's borders. I could be totally wrong though, I'm going off the few scales I see that look like borders to me.

There's something odd about that snake's coloration. The base color seems to do the opposite of what it usually does on corns. Notice that the tail base color is much darker than the neck color. Something just looks so wierd to me that I can't even bring myself to vote.
