Hi guys had theese hatch in he last few days anf a little unsure on morphs. A liytle pic heavy. Sorry about quality of pics as they were taken on phone but here they are. With and without flash
Coral snow or straight snow Without flash^
As above with flash
Coral snow or hypo amel? Bright reddy orange heads and almost the same as a snow body Without flash
With flash
With flash on his own
Not sure of this fella is a miami phase an anery or a ghost as descriptions from all 3 semm like this fella. Dark brown sadles around head and neck but black further down. And grey body. Have a few like this
I think this fella is an anery as he is pure black saddles grey body
Coral snows look visually identical to snows - the only way you can be certain they are coral snows is if both parents are homo hypo (not just het), which they obviously are not from the others which have been produced. Same with hypo amels. You would only be able to sell them as snows 'possible' corals or possible het, but as Scaly says knowing whether the parents are a hypo plus a het hypo etc would help. The 'not sure' is a normal (can see the orange tinges starting definitely not anery/ghost), and the last one is an anery.
Male is an amel het hypo het anery Female is a hypo het anery het amel Dont mean to sound stupid but what does homo hypo mean ? Here is the link for my snake on corn calc. http://www.corncalc.com/Generate The reason i was unsure what the poss hypo amels are is the body/ background coulor ispink link the snows the the first part of the patern i.e head neck area is reddy orange like an amel Edit ; just looked on ians vivarium and they look identicle to the hypo amel hatchling pic on there
They look diferent on the ians vivarium page the amels saddles are a lot brighter and the hypos seem to fade toward the tail. Done A little more digging and my male amel is het anery poss het hypo.if they are hypo amel or coral hatchlings how long before you can tell the difference ?
Not even then - the only way to know for certain is to breed as an adult to a known hypo to see if all the offspring are hypo... and even then the original snake could still just be het for hypo and not actually hypo itself! Het means heterozygous, ie one of the gene pair is hypo so the snake is het hypo. Homo means homozygous which means both of the gene pair are hypo so the snake is hypo.
you won't be able to. They look different on IV because every snake looks different, theres lots of variation.
Here's one for you to try then nath: cut and paste oh I don't know at least 50-60 different Amel photos onto a page then look at them. The variation from one hatch/clutch to another is VAST-or just go to Google images and type in Amel corn snake-same effect. They will all be amels-some are selectively bred to be 'Sunglow' or 'Fluro Orange' or 'Reverse Okeetee'.
Good luck Nath,you could always keep a few back to see how they grow-that way if you do this pairing again you'll have an idea of what they will look like,and can show folks pics/older snakes. Personally I like the one in the 3rd pic with the head pointing up-have you noticed the pattern on the head looks a bit like the mask from the film 'Scream' ? Try looking at the post about "Masque new gene on the block".... Maybe you have a bit of the Masque gene at play there? Cracking little bunch of hatchlings you have there too
Thanks ill have a look. Im keeping back the anery and a snow( just order a snow stripe too lol) so woll see what happens in the future. Just about to put up another post about my butter maybe you could help with that one too lol
