Favorite Morph?

First of all, I'd like to say "hi" cause I'm new to the forum. I work in a fish store and one of my customers brought her corn king cross in to meet me. I must admit, I was one of those people who were terrified of snakes, but holding that little guy was one of the coolest things ever!! Needless to say, I am now converted and going for the gusto. I'm going to be buying my own little corn snake, but still doing the research first. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that you guys are way cool, and keep educating people. It's unbelievable how some ones own ignorance can cloud their judgment so much. Anyhow, I wanted to start a thread to see which color morph is your favorite. There's sooo many beautiful ones, but I think my favorites are the blizzard, motley sunglow, and the okeetee creamsicle. Yes I am aware that's more than one, but I'm sure you all have the same problem. So, what do you think?

Welcome to BP.net! :handshake:


Personally, my all time favorite corn snakes are normals! :D

I love the lavenders and just purchased one at MARS! The pewters and charcoals are also very pretty and on my wishlist. I also own a snow, a ghost, an anery motley, an amel motley, and a hypo. I think they're all beautiful, and you can't beat a corn for easy keeping!

welcome to the sight glad to have you..

I am with Judy on the corns there are so many different patternes and so on of the normals that I like the normals.

Again glad to have yo make yourself at home

Well lets see for the majority of the corns i like them,allthough some do not thrill me much.I love all of the following lol.I have a snow(female),silver queen(female) ,and a ghost male that are my breeders at this time.I am getting at least a pair of the Lavenders and a trio that will produce the morphs Lava and Ice(attatched pic). http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ult_Corns1.jpg

Does anyone have a picture of an adult "Red Albino"? I think they are the coolest. :)
Then again I'm an albino addict.

Welcome to the site! The amount of knowledge shared here could be overwhelming.. but I think you will be just fine.

A red albino is just another name for a Amelinistic corn snake.I deleted the pic of the male i had sorry.

Can anyone explain the anthyristic amelanistic (albinism? without melanin?) and all those other terms, and the purpose of them when breeding?
Thanks :sunny:

I myself am just in the beggining of understanding the genetics of corn snakes.And i thought ball python genetics was crazy :eek: .

LOL! I love this forum. You guys are so quick to respond. Is there a live chat on here somewhere? If anyone wants to chat in msn, pm me. I'm looking to get a lot of starter information and I would like to talk one on one with someone about the best way to set up. . . breeder vs pet store, etc.

anerys are black and white (roughly)

amels are red and white (again, roughly)
there are 2 types of anery (a and b) i think a's are more likely to have some orange near the head
anery type a crosses with amel for snow's which are white with some pinkish color to the saddles.
anery type b crosses with amels for blizards, which as adults are completely solid white.

if you look at my post "new babies" i have pics of an anery, a snow, a sunglow (which is a variation on amel which has an orange background instead of white) I will add a pic of a regular amel soon. (their all babies other than the sunglow though)

my fav corn morph has to be the ghost montly (sp). i had one but traded it for a celonese/burm mix. shouldn't have.

I saw some striped corns of different colors at MARS. They are definitely impressive. I'm thinking I might need a pair of those next year.

Anerythristic means no red/orange. Sometimes they're referred to as black corns. Amelanistic means no black, and they also have red eyes. The combination of anerythrism and amelanism creates a "snow" corn snake, which some people call albino. It's basically white with some pink, maybe a little yellow around the neck. Also has red eyes.

EDIT: Here's a picture of a baby anerythristic corn snake.

And a baby amelanistic.

This is my favorite. Okeetee Creamsicle Corn snake

to answer your question (breeder vs pet store), i believe almost everyone will agree that a breeder is best for ANYTHING. as long as it's a responsible breeder, of course. breeders tend to actually care for the animals, they tend to have better prices, and they tend to know A LOT more about the animals...all of my animals (minus my cockapoo) are from breeders. but, of course, adoption is a great option!

:salute:

Lavender Blood red is deffantly on top!!! IMO! Jason,

GREAT explanation.

My fav too!!!!

Well I'll have to start off with my personal fav. isn't really a reality yet, I'm working at the time on breeding a true sulfar/sulfar stripe corn with a good diffusion. My fav. to date has to be the Opel stripe just a wonder pink snake. To clarify Anry A can show some yellow around the head, while charcol is a true black/gray and white corn. All corn snake genes are also simple ressive out side of Ultra and Montly, Ultra being co dom to Amel, and Montly co dom to Stripe.

My Favorites are

1. Okeetees (just normal with that awesome pattern)
2. Hypo Okeetees, B E A U TIFUL
3. Reverse Okeetees, (amel okeetees)

Yea I like okeetees, want ta fight about it :sabduel:

:rolleye2:

Outside of Okeetees I like Lavanders best but I have been trying to breed as much of that saddle pattern into Lavs and I can get. OK I am a okeetee NUT, :taz: I admit it.

didnt you forget that amel is co-dom to anery (both types) for snow (anery A) and blizzard (anery B)? anery and hypo A for ghost, ambers, butter, opal.... several co-doms out there, and thats still just a few of them. But, I'm pretty sure that all the traits themself are recessive like you said.

My favorite is sunglow motleys!
