If they are good little snakes and do what they are supposed to do, around a month after hatching they should be ready - thats at least one shed and 4 consecutive feeds

Just to make sure you are aware (I may have misread your posts!), the pic of Goonie Figs posted is a normal not an amel - normals look quite brown when they are born but the red and yellow colours develop as they get older. Amels have red eyes and look very pink, almost transparent when born and again the red and yellows develop as they get older - but they don't have any black in them.

The problem is all corns change colour a LOT as they grow, so you need to look at the adult pics to choose what you want, then don't be alarmed if the hatchlings look totally different lol :)
