colourfullest/cheap morph

ive been looking at all the different morphs,i was gfoing for a amel ,but they dont look that colourfull when older,like a dark orange.

i want a really bright colourful one,preferably cheap ,not too dear apart from AMEL and ANERY.i like bloodred but hard to get hold of in UK.
 
Well, if you like amel, go for an amel motley or amel stripe. They are more likely than a straight-up amel to remain bright and colorful through adulthood. But I'm not sure if I understand your thinking here anyway. An older amel is too dark for you, but your preference would be bloodred? Most bloodreds will mature to be darker snakes than adult amels. :shrugs:
 
If you like orange, go for a sunglow. The ones I've seen are around £60.

Although I agree that I find your reasoning a bit odd... I wouldn't call an amel "dark" by any stretch of the imagination. Anyway, it depends on the snake - you could get the brightest morph on the market and still end up with a dark-tinted snake.
 
Hi mate, I've done allot of research over the past year and a half into what corn morphs are available here in the UK, it doesn't look good for prices. apart from normals, snows, amels, anerys, you can expect to pay round about the £100-£500 mark for anything else, there are some good breeders out there in the UK with some really nice corns for sale and well worth the money you could pay. your best bet for brightness and cheapness would be an amel. I like amels thay look great in any viv.
good luck

You must have done your research in very expensive places! I've seen lavenders around here for £150 :shrugs: And most morphs I have seen are readily available at between £50-80.
 
Prices are slightly higher down in Somerset, but you can get most morphs for £60-£120 if you look around...

And for a bright snake an Amel is probably good...if you think the adult amels are dark, good luck finding brighter ones... :shrugs:
 
ok well the adult amel are dark duller colour than the brightness of bloodred.

yes sunglows i would but hard to get in the NORTH WEST of england. :(

ive seen the striped and moteley amel,are they good.

what are the striped and moteley like?
 
It depends. Some corns snake well stay colorful their whole lives. Its not just the morph. If you take two amels. The one Amel might turn orange and the other might have a beautiful red/orange/white. From my two Ghosts I have my male is more silver than my female is. It really depends one the snake and its genetics.
 
well...well...what's so not bright about this?

what's not bright about this? An Okeetee?

I want to know what adult amels you've been looking at if you think they're dark and dull while an adult bloodred is bright! And as Dean sugested...a patterned amel may end up brighter. Here are examples of an amel zigzag, amel motley and amel stripe.

I'm going to agree with Russell here.....for the most color "pop" per dollar/pound/shekel/piaster, especially if you like the oranges, I'd go with an Okeetee. Amel stripes/sunglows might fit the bill, but the contrast with the borders on an Okee does it for me.

regards,
jazz

You aren't looking hard enough... I don't know what your area is like, but saying they are hardly available in the UK is too much of a generalisation. I have seen sunglows over and over again in this country. They are hardly a rarity.

If I can see lavenders, golddusts and pewters in British pet stores, you aren't telling me you can't find a sunglow!

I think Becks took issue with your claim that they were not to be found in the UK. I guess the US seems like a haven for corn morph lovers, but you should keep in mind that there are even greater geographical distances to consider here. I live in Connecticut, and I've never seen anything as high-end as a pewter, or golddust in a pet store here. I have few corns that I could have found locally. To get exactly what you want, you have to be willing to pay for shipping (or to travel). :shrugs:
 
If you can't find a breeder with what you want available, I'd recommend crystal palace reptiles in london without hesitation. If you have a look at the website you'll see that it may well be worth a few hours on a train to get the snake you really want

I just found this in five minutes on the Internet. This shop is in the North of England and they sell Sunglows, as well as things like Opals!

Dean is right, you have to branch out to get what you want. I didn't say I expected Sunglows to be lining up outside your front door; I simply made the point that they are there, if you're prepared to look for them, as I think I've just proved.
 
snakes and addders os about 2 hours away,not bad.

crysatal palace is good,and they ship in the uk,so i could do that,my question is is that stressfull to much for the snake?
