corn colors

[littleindiangirl]

One cool thing about amels (and most corns) is how extremely variable they can be.

One extreme of amel is the sunglow, which have been selectively bred for bright colors and eliminating the white borders. Here is one picture.

The other end of the spectrum is the candy cane, which have been selectively bred to maximize the white and eliminate the orange. This page has pictures and also has an interesting story about the 30+ year project that it has been!

Snakes that are marketed as "just" amel will (usually) be somewhere in the middle, like those already pictured in this thread. I just think it is really cool how much variability comes from 1 gene!

Thats so true! Mine was sold to me as a sunglow, I had no idea about ANY corn colors, except that he was orange.

Afterwards, I went looking for what sunglows are, and he has a little more white than most sunglows, but I don't care. he's perdy!

I'm corn morph stoopid. So any little bit of explanation always helps. I know what I want next, a butter or a nice blizzard!
