I'm new at breeding so I was wondering if you guys with trained eyes could see if this little fellow (came out of his egg last night) is a common like his dad or anery like his mom?

He looks like a miami to me!?

He doesnt have enough orange to be a normal, unless its the light. And hes got too much orange to be an anery.
 
A few sheds will reveal all soon enough... Just a guess. But your right, its hard to tell before the first shed. Im going with normal...
 
Without knowing the line of an animal, I think even a few sheds won't be enough to judge an animal with less orange or yellow than normally from a normal cornsnake. Some of my project animals from Lavender X Silverqueen looked a lot like nice Miamis until about 6-8 months, now the background got uniformly light yellow, the contrasts are still there, but nothing more than a normal cornsnake.
 
well I got a normal too, but he wasn't nearly the same color as this one.

The thing is, I don't know their genepool :S except that the dad is normal and the mom is anery

Depends on the definition of normal. Is everything that is not hom. for a color or pattern changing morph a normal cornsnake?
 
Looks like "wild type" to me...aka "common"...aka "normal" by most people's definition. i.e...it doesn't look like an anery to me.
 
A miami is a selectivly bred normal. And it looks like a normal whos yellows haven't developed. Even okeetees will sometimes look that dark before they get there yellows and oranges. Or the snake may just have a very brown pigmentation. my sister had a corn snake that was almost entirely shades of brown except for the area around its neck.

They are actually a geographical race of corn snake common in the southern peninsula. They have been selectively bred to have the "milksnake phase" appearance.

Yes and so are okeetees, but as with okeetees nowadays the majority of miamis are selectively bred in captivity. Not to metion that corn snake morphs which have a relation to a certain geographical area are kind of selectivly bred by nature its called beneficial mutation. The coloration or pattern has changed to better adapt to a certain locality.

Oooo! Are we going to have this debate again? Milksnake phase is milksnake phase, aka banded. Although started with the Miami phase, they don't necessarily have to be Miami phase.

And although Miami phase corns were originally named for some specimens located in/around Dade county, Florida, they are not, nor have been, specifically a locality morph...not like the locality vs look debate with Okeetees anyway. They are normals selectively bred to have a very light tan/white or silver ground color. And they don't speak Spanish...unlike just about everyone else in Miami other than tourists. :sidestep:
