wanted a second opinion on a locality leachie

[mikew1234]

I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this girl at a local store for less than 400 bucks! Though I do have a few small concerns. She was in with another leachie, which was much, much smaller (maybe 20 grams). This girl is currently in the 150 gram range. My issue is that I believe she is a Nuu Ami as the guy said one was an Ami, the other an Ana. He did not know which was which. Personally, I was kinda suprised that he knew it was a locality at all. She fires up with pinks, but no white whatsoever. She also seems to have a W shaped pattern on her back which from what I read is a trait of the Nuu Ami. I have also read that the eye can tell a lot, so I included a pic of that as well. Any help would be great.

Without knowing the breeder, the wildcaught ancestors and without any papers, it is impossible to tell which locality it is. Most likely it is a crossbreed, otherwise it would not make sense that you could purchase it at a petshop. Most breeders of localities make sure, that the bloodlines stay that way.

The store is a specialty shop, and unfortunately over here, breeders can do only so much.. They may have sold the babies to someone but there are a lot of people who buy them then flip on the small market. When I sell baby ball pythons, the local shops pay slightly over show value, then price them at nearly double and sell them at that price. Kid walks into store sees bumblebee ball, buys it for 800. It is either a nuu ami or nuu Ana. Judging for what I read, it looks more nuu ami than nuu Ana. I'm looking to make sure my assumption is correct due to the markings, colors and size. She is almost two years old also (left that out)
