    Morph ID Help

    Can anyone tell me what kind of corn snake my charlie is please?
    Her belly has no black white a little white under the head and neck and the remainder is red/orange checked but very subtle.

    Get a closeup of the eyes. This is important in identifying morphs like this.

    She's currently in shed but my description of her eyes would be blood red. Will try to get a closeup when she's had her shed

    Belly shot, too, please.

    Right now, I'm somewhat leaning towards a sunglow or lava. The eye color and belly picture is really going to help with that.

    Looks like a sunglow, motley sunglow or something like that just by the pattern.

    I'd agree... but I can make myself believe that I can see some 'purple' flecks in the saddle, which are a lava trait. Lavas can look a *lot* like amels, until you get up close to those saddles or flip them over and see the purple belly checkers. Also, the pupils look dark-ish in the last photo. If you expand them to fullsize (which I only just now saw the option to), you can see the dark pigments in the markings.

    So my current vote is for a lava.

    The eyes are an almost dark red and they glow hot red when the light hits them...

    This photo is from vmsherp.com and is the closest thing it's seen to my boy charlie... a Sunkissed

    His pattern is all sorts of wrong for a sunkissed, but with those eyes and the purple bits in his saddles I'm about 99% positive you have a lava!
