Amel stripes?

I picked these two up at tinley last year from BHB. They were both labeled as albino stripes the first red w/red stripe is male and the second yellow w/red stripe is female. My question is are they both amel? I've never seen another yellow w/ red like this one . Thanks for looking

I would say that the Yellow one is a butter stripe. If they are from the same parents then one had to be het for caramel... (amel/caramel/stripe X amel/stripe/het caramel)
 
I think I see an amel motley and a butter stripe. Odd BHB would get those mixed up.
 
I see an amel stripe (disconnected head pattern, wide central 'stripe' with thinner stripes) and a butter stripe.
 
The amel *probably* is a stripe with stripes that straight, but I've hatched none that the posterior broke up that soon that much. And some lines of motley are striped very much like that. I'd be more inclined to think it is labeled correctly if an obvious butter stripe wasn't already sent as an amel. Are these snakes siblings?

Do you mean the posterior section of the stripe cecause the anterior/cranial section is completely intact? Either way, the stripe of that amel is more complete than on many stripes I've seen. It's certainly more complete and for longer than on my amel stripe Ziggy.

Derp! Yep. Beautiful baby, I would never have guessed stripe. Conversely, I've had some VMS motleys that were so perfectly striped I'd have wagered stripe over motley. And add these gene's mode of inheritance and Ziggy is a living example of why it is imperative to label breeders correctly!

Back when I first got butters, I recall hatching some amel hets that were awfully yellow. I suppose it's not out of the question that the butter is in fact an amel, but I can't say I've ever seen one that yellow. I feel sure that one's a butter.
 
That's awesome if it is butter just one more morph for the collection. I got them both at tinley from BHB no idea if there siblings or not I do remember they were not in the same box. They're both about 200 grams now those pics are about 6 months old I'll try to find new ones especially of the butter she is deff yellow very bright that's why I was starting to wonder
