Totally clueless about morphs...any help?

Got this little gal(?) dropped off to me today, and I am COMPLETELY clueless about Corn Snake morphs. Any input/insight? Thank you!



She (we'll go with that for now) is approximately 2yrs old, and only about 160g, that seems pretty small for her age in my opinion, but again, cornsnakes elude me.

Some type of amelanistic motley corn snake I believe

:O Are you looking to sell her? I love the way she looks! :gj:

Awesome animal, there are definitely some wicked paint jobs on corns out there!

I couldn't tell ya, but that is one sweet ORANGE corn haha

Beautiful! I'm thinking it's actually closer to a stripe variation. Perhaps an amel stripe.
Check out cornsnakes.com and post your photo. You will get an answer SUPER quick. They know their morphs like there's no tomorrow! ;)

Definitely not a stripe. It's a partial pinstripe (phenotype) but stripe is a *genetic* trait of its own.

Okay. Hadn't heard that term for corns before.

Diffused motley I believe.

There is nothing about it to suggest diffusion is present, as the lateral patterning is intact down the entire length of the snake.

Also, fire motleys are quite rare so it is unlikely for this snake to be one without having also cost a few hundred dollars.

It kinda looks like a low expression blood red pied sided corn from its 1st half of white belly scales. If it continues to lose its patterning on its back and becomes pure red it's a blood.

No, it's not. All bloodreds have white belly scales. It's white scales on the SIDES, that they are BORN with that are pied-sided bloodreds.

This snake also isn't a bloodred at all. It is a sunglow motley.
