Jen,
I'll post mine up later. I actually just got done with a big photo shoot of some of our "other" snakes, not balls, for a new page on our website. I haven't put the pics on the site yet, but I'll post one when I get home. To tide you over, here is one I took about a year ago when she was a baby.

Cool! I am learning now how to tell them apart from regular Amels.. it is funny; I laughed when I would see newbies make mistakes regarding BP morphs, and call them by the wrong names, or such.. now I feel like I am a newbie again (in another field) hehe.

How do you tell them apart from regular amels? I mean I can see the difference between this snake and my sister's but are there "rules" to telling the two apart or is it always this clear?

My take on it is, the white on the CC pops out and there is a huge contrast between it and the red.. whereby the amels are more orangey in between.. but please don't take this as a gospel truth, and correct me if I am wrong

I wouldn't be the one to correct you at all, and that's what I was thinking I was seeing. Thank you Ginevive!

Hey Jen,
Here is the pic I took on Saturday. She is almost 2 years old now, and hopefully will be breeding next year. I love my Candy Cane. She might be the most vibrant snake I own.


Pic didn't upload, I'll load it tomorrow.

It is my understanding that CC are simply amels that have been selectively bred to produce the CC apperance. They tend to have more of a red and white and lack the yellow and oranges.
