Amel. motley Cornsnake?

I recently got a Cornsnake, and the store said he was a Amelanistic Motley Corn, but I'm looking at some photos of them, and he doesn't quite match. He has the same patterns, but has blackish eyes, instead of pinkish, and a white stomach...... Any ideas?

since amel is a type of albino i'm assuming they have to have pink eyes to qualify, but i don't know everything about how they work so maybe i'm wrong. i know mine has pink eyes, and everyone i've found pictures of has pink eyes..

maybe you have a different phase motley.. pictures would really help though!

Yeah. I don't have any good pictures yet. I'll try and take some today. I'm still trying to figure out the naming thing. My icon is his tail end, but as you can see, it isn't very good. lol

yeah post some pictures when you get some.. i don't know a whole lot about corn morphs but i'm sure someone can help you out more.

if he is a baby, some corns do not grow into there full pattern for some time. it takes a couple years to see the TRUE pattern

correct everyone?

Thanks. I'm not quite sure how old he is, but he weighs about 200g. I just took some photos, but my camera died. I'll post them in a bit.....

Here are two differences in patterns

there are no motley sunglows? i don't really know much about corn morphs, i was just comparing the dark colors, it just kind of reminded me of that picture

no i have no idea if there is motley sunglows or not, im sure there are, there are millions of types of corns (ok maybe not millions)

Hmmmm... I don't know. The picture doesn't really change his color....

Here's another pic...... And thanks for helping out. I'm still pretty new to reptiles.

Yeah. Cool, well thanks. I'm still not quite sure what he is, but there are a few possibilities.

Well, he is definitely a Motley at least. :) As for what else, could be sunglow, could be Amel with really dark oranges.
Whatever else he is, he is VERY attractive. Great little guy there. :)

Thanks!!!! Yeah, I'm thinking either a Motley Sunglow, or a Motley Amelanistic.

Hmm since we're on this topic, I figured I'd post pics of my motley corn for comparison.

I figure he is Amel since his eyes are pink?

But then again, look at this:
http://www.moreptiles.com/sunglow%20motley.htm
http://www.moreptiles.com/amelanistic%20motley.htm

I'd say BOTH of our snakes look more like the sunglow motley, with yours being a bit darker.

Also, my corn's stomach is half white, half pinkish-orange. Go figure that one out. :P

Yours doesn't look to be an amel motley. The pupils look black, which would make it not amel. It could be a hypo motley, but motley tends to have a hypo effect anyways, and there are motley snakes that are not hypo that look like yours. For now, I'd call it just a motley.

And as a side, you can have sunglow motleys. It has to do with the intensity of the oranges. Really intense orange motleys are sunglow. Regular amel motley: http://www.cornsnakes.net/gallery.php?catid=2&id=20

Sunglow motley: http://www.cornsnakes.net/gallery.php?catid=2&id=191

And those super sunglow motleys look to be nothing more than just sunglow motleys.
