That is an amel. It is surely line bred and marketed as "fluorescent" or "Extreme reverse okeetee" I would wager. Beautiful snake, but I couldn't guess how much it would cost there!
 
That looks like a photo that I took of either my Fluorescent Orange corns or the Amelanistic Okeetees I was working with at the time.
 
Ha, not only an exact ID, but from the owner & photographer! How much would that cost in South Africa, Rich? ;)
 
I can't think they will be that much. I mean I bought a 1,4m corn snake that weighed 960grams for R800. So that snake should also be around there right ?? I'm not planing on getting one. Was just interested if they are more expensive or if they are similar to the rest of the corns
 
An amel corn can be had as cheap as $5 US. From a quick Google, SMR is the only site I see fluorescents available, and they are $80 to 90 for babies.
 
So next year I am going to america , probably north Dakota, any one on here know any reputable breeders for ballpythons and Taiwanese rat snakes in that state. I'm not 100% sure where in ND I will.
 
North Dakota isn't exactly a hotbed of reptile keepers, but I'm sure you can find some fluorescents and have them shipped there at very least. Not sure about getting them back on a plane to South Africa...
 
Okay but on the note of getting a corn snake!! What's your favorite ?? Like personally I love the Bubblegum snow purely because that was my 1st corn snake (( her name is Claire)).
 
My current favorites are scaleless and Palmetto, but I am sure that will change. 4 years ago I was stoked to hatch tesseras, and now I'm trying to avoid creating any that don't express other genes. Fires and fire stripes are always nice to look at too. And I've always like anery.
 
She is an anery type A het Anery Type B and bred her with a fire het candy cane. The eggs should come VERY soon now :D. Wonder what morphs ill get out that.
She is the one I bought for R800 dollors that's about 75 US dollors (( guess)) and is 1,4m long and dropped her weight to 888grams (( she was a bit over weight when I got her )).

My (then) yearling was $5500 from BHB at Daytona in 2012. Palmettos haven't dropped, since no one besides SMR has produced any.
 
She is an anery type A het Anery Type B and bred her with a fire het candy cane.

Just as a heads up, a snake can't be 'het' for candycane. Candycanes are line bred amels. It's rather like saying a mixed-breed dog is "het" lab. It just doesn't work that way.

Fires (amel diffused) are also polar opposite of what is desired in a candycane, color-wise.
