Are bubblegum and neon corn snakes the same?

If I am thinking right it happens when you cross two high green colored pinks and greens. You end up with some green spots, pink spots and green/pink spots lol.
 
Yes pretty much. They so far are select breds of neons or bubble gums. So far, as far as I have been able to find they tend to be female in gender. The males still seem to retain more pink. And have not been able to be an actual true gene. But there are a few folks trying to see if they can get it as an inheratable gene.

I am hoping to be one of those. :D
 
Snows are so interesting. I picked out my snow because of the green boarders around the pink saddles. I'm not sure if I can call him/her a bubblegum, neon, or just high pink since I don't have a history on it. Once I get a breeding pair of strawberries I'm going to try to make salmon snows and other strawberry combos.

So recap: salmon snows = amel x anery x strawberry; coral snows = amel x anery x hypo; bubblegums, neons, strawberry snows, and green spots = amel x anery with specific color traits. Anything else?
 
My bubblegum is light pink with bright green spots (not just borders but the whole saddle). Very hard to get pictures. One or the other color usually shows up more. Hard to get a picture where both colors will show up. Once the weather warms up I'll try outside pictures. Also my snake is female. From a picture I've seen of her brother it would seem the males didn't develop the green spots.

I can help with that.
Yes...and No.
They are both "just" snow's. But they are snows that specialize in a certain level of other colors.

Poppycorn is famouse for her neons See picture number one.
The second is a bubblegum from Ian's site.
See the HUGE difference?

That Poppycorns pic is actually of a Coral Snow, which is different than Neon. Marsha did mix Neon and Coral and got some really nice animals but I haven't seen her or heard from her in awhile to see how they turned out. :( I want to say she was going to use the name Starburst for them, but I'm really not sure if I am remembering that correctly.

Corals, Neons, Bubblegums, and Champagnes (we won't even get into Salmons) all have some very intense pink specimens out there. They also have some so-so animals out there from people mixing the lines and calling the F1's by the same name before they grow them up to see if the quality is the same.

I think a lot more testing needs to be done to figure out how each one is inherited and how they interact with each other.

Here are some pics of a Neon X Bubblegum breeding. In the animals I worked with to produce these, the Neon was pinker in his youth but faded a bit, the Bubblegum took a year to get the color, but held on to it better. Only time will tell how these guys will turn out. They were pinker than your average babies but it took them awhile to get this bright. I hope to mix them with Champagne and Salmon in the future, unfortunalty my Champagnes are super slow growers. Sorry the pic quality isn't the best, they had both just eaten so I didn't want to bother them much.

Those are some outstanding snakes. I just love how many shades of pink they can hold. I've gotten many girls interested in snakes once I told them I have a pink one. Nothing dangerous comes in pink.
 
Ok I have a question, all the talk on here with the distinctions for the tern neon have been for snows. . . I recently saw, I think on Faunaclassifieds, some Neon Amels? They looked a lot like my Scarlet who has average amount of white, nice rich red saddles, and what I call, oddly enough, Neon Orange background color. So . . .can the term "Neon" aptly be applied to such snakes? Would this then be a bred for trait like florescents? Or is this person just trying to sell their amels by making them just sound fancy?
 
I've gotten the terms neon and fluorescent interchanged before. Neons are line bred snows with enhanced greens and yellows with a pink background. Fluorescent amels are bright glowing line bred orange snakes you've described. I think some breeders chose whatever name they like for the morphs they produce.
 
heads up...

not saying anyone here but...some breeders will give animals they have produced a catchy name to appear to the buyer that they have something special or worth alot more money. i am new to corns but i hve been keeping and breeding boids for over 20 years, and have seen countless "special" snakes that were no more than different looking normals(or whatever) that a breeder swore was a "new morph" or "a genetic trait"...when in reality was no more than a marketing ploy to make a quick buck. most of these breeders are quickly picked out and dont last long in the hobby. the point is just be careful and do your research(by asking the question is a good start), and be aware of people selling "special animals" if they are not proven or the seller does not have proof and documentation of breeding trials.
