How to recognise it

HeadHeavily faded crown, often with a lighter spot in the centre; lip and nostril scales bright yellow to tan-white.
PatternNormal alien-head layout, cleaned up; tail ends in a solid stripe or tight beading.
ColourNormal pattern in much brighter tones; browns turn yellower with almost every shed.
BellyClean and crisp, with faded patches of pattern at the sides.
EyesNot yet verified against a source.
With ageHatchlings vary and can be hard to tell from a normal. By adulthood it is easy: the browns have yellowed, the opposite of the usual browning out.

Rows marked "not yet verified" are withheld until they can be cited. Inheritance is the trade's usage unless a source below states it.
