Meet "Rufus"

This is Rufus. He is an Amel Corn Snake that I got about a month ago. I'm not sure of his age but I am guessing about 9 to 12 months. He's about 26 inches long, and eats a hopper every Sunday morning.

Welcome to the obsession! Oops, I mean welcome to the forum. I am particularly fond of the name Rufus, it brings back memories of a lovely pooch I once worked with. LoL. Very pretty striped corn. But... I'm pretty sure that's not an amel? Either way, he's beautiful. I <3 stripes.

I was told by the folks I bought him from that he is an Amelanistic Red Striped Corn Snake.

He's gorgeous, but he's not an amel. Amels have red pupils because they lack black pigment.

Here is a picture of my amel stripe. See the difference in the eyes?

Welcome to the forum! Your snake is very pretty, but having an amel myself, I agree that he is definitely not albino. If you are curious to figure out what morph he is - you could compare some picture to Ian's Vivarium (a website) by restricting a search to only striped cornsnakes or ask some of the more senior members here.

Good luck with snakey! Sounds like he is healthy and happy.

Thanks for all the remarks and input. Obviously, the people that sold him to me got their facts wrong, and I didn't know the difference. I was told he was an Amel Red Stripe.

But after reading the posts from you guys, I decided to research it a bit more myself. I found some pictures online of a snake that looks exactly like him, and they call it a "Hypomelanistic Stripe. I believe that is what he must be.

Because he's a really nice dark color, and what little black he has on his face is a proper black, I believe he is a normal stripe not a hypo stripe.

Here are a few more photos of Rufus. He is a real sweetie and very friendly, he loves to get involved with just about everything I do. He will actually meet me at the cage opening and crawl out into my hands when I open the door.
