i don;t know if it's just the picture or what but the orange backgroound on your amel looks gold. very cool.
 
She has some very impressive deep red saddles for her age, it would be interesting to see if she hangs on to that as she matures. Beautiful snake :)
 
Thanks guys...

Her background seems to be getting more and more gold as she ages... The colours are a LITTLE bit richer in that photo than she actually is, but she does look absolutely outstanding. I'd just gotten the camera the previous day, and was still getting used to all its settings.

I'll be honest, I used to hate amelanistic corns. Most of them I've seen have just had WAY too much white one them, and they just don't look... I dunno, I've just never been really attracted to them... Then this girl came along. She was given to me as a gift at the Daytona show last August, and she's just been getting more and more vibrant with every shed.

When she was young, she had the rich red saddles, with a kind of bloody pinky colour on her sides - where it's now goldy orange. She definitely made me start to like amelanistics more. Now, all my corns have amelanistic in them, lol (amel, creamsicle, snow and blizzard).
 
Here's another one of her I just took about half an hour ago...

I've been playing around with different lighting setups to see how I can maintain the redness in the eyes... The flash always seems to turn it more of a pewter colour.

This was taken with the D100, Sigma 50mm f/2.8 MF Macro @ f/5.6, 1/125th sec exposure, no flash, just two incandescent spots pointed at the target from opposite sides - ISO800 (full size image is WAY too grainy, so no good for printing. I still need to play more with the lights).
