Could someone please describe the differences between the two. I have looked at photos and to me they look the same. Maybe I am missing something obvious though

Thank You.

Hypo Amel - http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/hypo_amel/

Amel - http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/amelanistic/

Both adults look different to me?

The top ones do yes. Scrolling down the page though on the amels and there are some that look the same as the hypo amel. And the month olds to me look very alike. Just wondering if there is some way of telling them apart if you have not got photos to hand.

A hypo corn snake has a greatly reduced amount of black. So what is reduced in the amels? Or am I being a total numpty.

They have more white bits in and more orange than Hypo Amels. Hypos are birghter red and have little to no white i think. Thats prob best way to do it. base it on both the first adult pics thats the difference. The other photos i believe are submitted by users and may be submitted to the wrong section?

its pretty much impossible to tell because hypo reduces black but amel totally removes it.

Oh right. So i guess you can't be sure until the snake matures then. So if someone was selling a hatchling as a hypo amel you may just end with a regular amel?
