cornsnake BABIES!!!!!

Nice clutch!! Others have hit the nail on the head: you have normals, anerys, amels, snows, ghosts, and at least one hypo. All look like they have normal patterns. And as was pointed out, amel masks hypo, so the snows or amel could also be homo hypo, only breeding trails can test that. I see:

5 anerys
3 ghosts
2 snows
1 normal
1 hypo
1 amel

Going rate for a pet shop is going to be retail, which is probably around $30-50, but that's retail. Selling on the forums or at a show, maybe $10-20. Great clutch and congrats!!

You have the same list as I did, except one of the ones I thought was amel you think is hypo. You have way more experience with this than me, so I'm not doubting you, but I'd like more information. I thought hypo usually looked closer to normal than it does to amel?

I know they can be highly variable, I'm just trying to get more of a feel for it.

I've found that when hypos are hatchlings is when the difference is the greatest between them and normals. So if you look closely at one of the ones you think is amel, you'll see its a little darker than the other amel and its eyes aren't that orange/pink color, but darker. The saddles are also surrounded by a really washed out grey color and aren't totally white like the amel. Have a closer look, and hopefully you can see the differences.

A closer up shot comparing the two would help, but its still pretty clear from the pics provided.

Hey Mike,

What do the parents look like? Just curious. Thanks.

Best,

oh, I don't know the answer to this! I have no idea how to price them... I am guessing they are prob 20 to 30 bucks each? Hopefully the more experienced corn guru's will chime in!

Believe it or not, the local pet store here sells corn babies that they call "fancy corns." Usually they are anery, snow, amels, stuff like that. They get $89.99 for them. Of course I haven't bought any from them, but that is what they ask for them. I know.

Thanks, that helped a lot!

Yeah, I've seen similar prices in one store. Oddly, I think one of the highest priced corns that store had was an amel. Yup. Plain old amelanistic. You know, the morph that's been around since the '60's or so?

I actually can see the uneducated public being willing to pay more for an amel. They are very colorful and attractive. And since most pet stores care much more about making money than anything else...
