Not saying I don't believe you, of course... just saying that he looks a lot different from that other snake. :) Thanks for the info tho.

I've asked on several boards now, but can't find anyone, who can tell me, if there are any other "markers". So, here are some pics and if anyone could enlighten me I would sooo very much appreciate it.

Hi my name is olivia i am new to this site, and i must say you have some pretty snakes first off. I have to tell you to that i have two corn snakes male and female reverse okeetees and they both have the same kind of coloration that yours have,i don't know what that is either someone told me it could be because the pet shop i bought them from didn't tell me they were cross bred with another speices of snake and that my snakes will get to be 6ft even though they are corn snakes. Another person told me when i breed them they will produce huge babies and they will be very pretty,i don't only have reverse okeetees i also have zigzag creamsicles,zigzag candy canes,opal aztecs,amelanistic zigzags,candy canes,lavender albino brooksi kingsnake,lavender albino texas rat snake,dwarf reticulated pythons100% het lavender,and planning to get more. Sorry I took up all your time writing a long paragraph hope this helped.

Welcome! This thread is a bit old, but always good to hear information. =)

Creamsicle babies look like amels when babies... so how can you tell from those pictures??? :confused:

lol, old thread, ah well :rolleyes:

I have 4 corns that I breed every year my amels produce some real high contrast babies which I could easly sell for candy cane or make up some morph that sounds good, but I just trade or whole sale them,Ive seen washed out amels at shows that people are selling for $75 to $100 calling them candycane creamcicle etc.,when my amel babies would put them to shame,maybe I need to get smart & sell mine like that but Im just a hobbiest,don't know about every new morph out there.just my 2 cents.When I hatch my babies ill post some pics & everybody can tell me what I got,Im real excited about this year because I have a female that is really alot of white & my male has alot of orange can't wait to see what I get!!

My guess is that both of those are just amels.

You might have a candy cane but you really won't know until it matures.

While the creamsicles are hybrids they are also generally low white. Mostly orange and yellow.

I got some from BHB years ago that had practially no white on them at all. They threw some really orange and yellow babies. When you saw them next to the amels there was no doubt who was who.

Lines have been mixed and diluted since then and it's not so easy to tell anymore.

You should get cool looking babies either way though.
