    Help With Morphs

    I'm starting to get into cornsnakes and was wondering if my BP.net friends would be able to help be identify these four morphs. They are my son's snakes and I'm curious as to what kinds they are:

    Re: Help With Morphs

    I'm no expert, so don't quote me on this... but from what I can tell, here's what you have.

    1: Ghost, maybe Charcoal
    2: Amelanistic (aka "Amel" or albino)
    3: Normal?
    4: Striped Amel

    Very nice looking snakes, especially that little striped!

    I think you're right about that... here's a crimson from Serpenco: http://www.serpenco.com/pics/crimson02.jpg
    Looks just like him/her!

    Re: Help With Morphs

    Better pics would help, if possible in natural sunlight. But from those pics:

    1. Anery
    2. Amel (possible motley?)
    3. Normal
    4. Normal stripe

    Number three, could be a crimson/miami, but from those pics doesn't look it. But again, with better pics it could help. And the amel has a motley like pattern, at least on its top dorsal side. Does the belly have checkers? And the last one is just a normal stripe, not an amel stripe. Eyes are the giveaway.

    Oh yeah... I thought they were red because of the flash/reflection, but now I see they're dark. Cool!

    Re: Help With Morphs

    I just found out that the person my some got #3 from called it an okeetee. I did a little bit of research but am wondering - Is crimson a specific type of okeetee?

    Re: Help With Morphs

    Okeetee is originally a locality snake. However, its been shifted to describe a normal with thick black borders and vibrant oranges/reds. So some snakes are called okeetees even though they didn't originate from okeetee county, which is where the vibrant snakes originally came from. Genetically its just a line bred normal. Yours doesn't make the cut.

    A crimson is a hypo miami corn; a miami corn is another locality corn thats genetically just a normal.
