Default even stumped the yanks

Im after some opinions on this one, he was born along side some obvious crimsons, but after some better light, he does have pink eyes, now someone on the yank forum says it looks like a ultra miami, others say its taken the hypo effect to the limit, others say ultramel

No this guy is the only one in his clutch, hes not candy, so whats your guess? im thinking its possibly got some ultra in it, cause of the colouring at the saddle borders

new pics

If it did have ultramel in it then surley there would be more others in the clutch and also to get such stunning crimsons takes a lot of selective breeding and so I doubt that the ultra gene would have slipped in somewhere. But I suppose that the only way to tell would be to breed it.

Could it be crimson Amel?
It does look ultramel to me as its like mine but a lot brighter.
What were the parents and it could be the one in the clutch what got all the hets, Gorgeous snake.
