    what morph??

    hope this works never added a pic to a post yet......if this don't work sorry.........what morph is this?? i bought this snake from a store for fairly cheap becuz they were unsure of the morph. they said either a christmas corn or an amel. a little research and i found that christmas corns are a fairly new morph so i don't think that is it and it don't have the pink eyes of an amel.i found a description of a hypomelanistic
    Hypomelanistic or rosy corn snakes carry a recessive trait that reduces the dark pigments causing the reds, whites, and oranges to become more vivid. Their eyes remain dark. These snakes range in appearance between amelanistic corns snakes to normals with greatly reduced melanin.
    any thoughts??? it would be nice to define what type of corn this is.
    thanks

    He isnt a Hypo or a Amel or a Christmas corn! He looks to be a very very pretty normal with a paradox-ish pattern! He is very uniqe. He may be a new morph. Dont get your hopes up but you could always trie!! If you ever want to get rid of him...You can always give me PM.

    yeah, i see what you mean, i checked the site that goddess gave and can see the influence of both, i'm no expert but after about 1000 pictures of corn snakes i got the idea lol . to me it has too much white and not enough dark to be just a normal, i have a normal corn snake and they are different......thanks for some clarity, now i know what to tell people when they ask what kind of corn this is. i can say "it's a type of...." instead of "uuhhhhh"....thanks
