About 3.5", looks like a very faded B. albiceps (sold as a very cheap albiceps). My 2" albiceps already has jet black legs. Could she be some kind of hybrid, or are there regional color variations?
Looks like it's due for a molt soon. Often you'll see drastic changes in coloration in the months and weeks leading up to a molt.
 
She's 4" and molted a month ago.
@kelseyb Any updates? How is she doing? This is interesting, mine is a similar size (slightly smaller), also fading in colouration having molted six weeks ago, though she did have the archetypal colours immediately after the moult.
