Hi all.
Were looking at getting a corn and we are torn between an amel and an anery.
I'm swaying towards the amel for colours but wondered if thereare any things to watch for with them, ie eyes etc..
Ty in advance!!

the morph can have in impact in other snake species eg. in royals the 'spider' morph will have a varying degree of wobbling, but there's nothing like that in corn morphs
i'd go for the anery personallly but i'm biased  |

The one thing with amels is that it can be harder to tell when they are going 'blue' (the changes that happen before your snake sheds), but that is not a serious issue and once you have had your snake for a while you can begin to tell the signs of when this is happening.
Sorry to disagree with the Morph Master but its got to be an anery or ghost....no other morph comes close  !

Am always very happy to be corrected Hiper , I was just sure I had read a number of threads where new owners of amels had missed their snake's going blue and the first thing they knew about it was the snake refusing a feed, hiding away or finding a shed skin in the viv  .
Sorry for misinforming you J6pkp  .

| the changes in amels' eyes when they are in blue can be difficult to spot until you get to know what you're looking at...........harder still (IMO) are snows! |

blizzards are even harder to notice going blue!!
i do think amels are hard to notice ash - our luciens eyes dont change that dramatically - its more the silver sheen he gets that lets us know hes going blue
J6pkp get both if you cant decide - but be sure to house them separately! but i would go for the amel - the colours are so much better than anerys *runs off in fear of being hunted down by the anery lovers!! * |

amels all the way!!! i always know when Steve is in blue as his eyes go dull looking, also he goes very milky white all over too, looks like a totally different snake.
As you can tell from the following picture, that was Steve before his last shed.
