Unknown morph

How about a wicked awesome thumbs up?

Ok lame, but at least it's something!

And for the OP, that is a nice looking snake you have there, he's going to be a looker when he's all grown up!

Thanks for the help everyone. I will be sure to post more pictures of this little guy as he gets bigger.

Normal motley (some might call it a striped motley). Not an amel and not an ultramel.

A normal? I don't think so. Look at the full size picture, there's no hint of black at all, it looks nothing like a normal hatchling. It looks like a typical Amel. I may not be Kathy Love, but I have hatched Amels before, so I think I have a pretty good idea...

Looks like a hypo motley/cubed... nothing special IMO but cool looking.

Whats wrong with this sites opinions? We have several knowledgable people here .I am sure someone will get a opinion or tell you what it is here just as well there

Yes, but this is mostly a BALL PYTHON site where people mostly own BPs, and on CS.com is where most people own CORN SNAKES and have people like Rich that can answer. This site is fine, just maybe not as knowledgeable on corn snakes.
For example, people that say it's an amel..

I most definitely isn't an amel. It could be a hypo, because as you mentioned there isn't much black. But motley has a hypo effect anyways, so lots of normal motleys look hypoish. But I guarantee you there's no way it's an amel; and if you've hatched amels that have that color, then you didn't hatch amels.

You missed where i was refering to this site not being able to give the "professional" opinion as the person refered to .We do have professional members here also

Normal Motleys frequently do not have much black or no black on them at all. I have seen many that do not have black and are still normal motleys.

I did not mean to offend by my comment on professionalism, I was merely suggesting that if the OP went to a site designed for corn snakes, they may get a quicker and more definitive opinion that could be relied upon. This site is an excellent one filled with many knowledgeable people, but IMO if you want definitive info on corns, the best place to get it would be a corn snake forum. I would rather ask a question about Balls here, and a question about corns on cs.com.

The snake doesn't have red eyes, it's not an amel....that's the end of that.

Here are some links to good pages about color and pattern morphs of cornsnakes. The first site is a sister site to ballpythonmorphs.com

An excellent forum with some very knowledgeable cornsnake enthusiasts on it is...
http://www.cornsnakesource.com/forum/


And a link for the site of the person who probably is the leading expert on corn snakes...
Kathy Love's site
http://www.cornutopia.com/

And incidentally, Kathy is a friendly helpful person who would probably answer your question if you email her a photo of your snake. I'm in the process of buying some babies from her and have found her to be wonderful to deal with.

It's been a great surprise to find that both Kathy and Scott Felzer (probably the leading garter expert and breeder) to be excellent to deal with, ask questions and get help from, and communicate with.
