Morph identification

Hey guys! So I bought my first ever corn snake a few months ago and I absolutely adore her, she has to be the nicest reptile I have ever seen!

Anyways, I am slightly curious about her colour morph. She was sold as a sunglow stripe, but she looks too yellow to be a sunglow, so I thought maybe she's a butter, but her markings are more orange then I've seen on a butter.... well, from pictures on the internet at any rate. :P

She also has a pure white belly, no markings!


So here are some pics! She just shed yesterday, and I apologize in advance for any shoddy quality... cellphone camera...

Looks like an amel stripe/cube to me.

I concur, a nice amel cube. Not a butter but maybe het caramel with all that yellow.

I agree. Looks like an amel cube. A very nice one too.

A creamcicle stripe (check some photos out as they are usually soft orange and yellow) or very yellow amel stripe would be my guess.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that said creamcicle. Could you get some more pictures of the head from the side, top, and front?

I didn't even think to look up creamcicles!







Here are the pictures I saved from her original ad (the lady I bought her from has a much nicer camera then me), taken somewhere within the first week of september I think. She's still a youngin' though, I'm not exactlly sure of her age, but she is currently somewhere around 6 months. Named her Arsenic due to her colors looking like those toxic/bio hazard signs, and it's also one of my favorite elements on the periodic table~

I'm glad you have more pictures of the head. I personally haven't learned how to tell the difference between a "pure" corn head and a creamsicle head, but I'm sure the more experienced guys can tell if it is a cream or not. In my non-expert opinion, I think you may have an amel, even though I thought cream at first. I don't think the head looks short enough.

Experts, what do you think?

IMHO, I'm thinking amel striped, of the cubed persuasion, maybe het for caramel.

But, when I hear hoofbeats, I usually think horses before zebras.
