Need help identifying - Freshly Shed :D

[Mikey]

I have two relatively small corns; Raoul & Kramer
Owned them for 4 months now.
they've just started on fuzzies

Well Raoul just shed, So I thought it the perfect opportunity to get him identified.

It's only Raoul that I'm unsure of.
Kramer is an Aztec, I'll post photos of him sometime, He's larger too.

I lost the paper with his name on it
but if it helps; I vaguely remember milk or caramel or hypo or het in the name.

first time uploading pictures, I may of done it wrong

Corn snake, no doubt about it. Probably.



Amel

You're probably remembering "milksnake-phase" for the banded pattern, and the actual morph is phenotypically an amel.

Yep, you're probably rememembering correct the "het" part. The snake is amelanistic (a.k.a. red albino). Het means it carries other traits which you can't recognize in it's appearance but it could pass them on to it's offspring. For example - based on what you vaguely remember - yours could be:

Amelanistic het. Caramel, Hypo.

That would mean it has two recessive amelanistic traits which make it look amelanistic, but it also has one caramel gene and one hypo gene which it has got from his parents but which do not change it's appearance.


The word "milk" here probably won't mean anything... Sure there is the "milk snake phase" morph, but I find it hard to believe a regular amel would be het. for it. And if being accurate it'd be het. Motley and not Milk Snake Phase as the Milk Snake Phase is selectively bred motley.

Anyway, could it have been "Butter" instead of "Milk"? Both kind of food anyway?

And butter has both amelanistic and caramel traits. So there might have been written something like this:

Amelanistic het. Caramel (Butter), Hypo (Amber)

Well,you have a very beautiful corn snake. I think it's an Amelanistic but not sure about the hets or hypos in it.
