Here's the four girls I picked up today- their back story is in the "general corn snake" area. They all need names, so suggestions are welcome!

1) Miami esque? girl, 550grams. Shes probably gravid since she was in the tank with all the other ones

Hard to tell but they don't look skinny to me, at least not on my phone!! So glad you were able to rescue them and help educate the owner :)
 
The top girl isn't bad at all bit you can easily feel spines and loose skin on the other girlies. They were all competing for food. I don't think they'll take much just a few extra meals and maybe bump them to rats for a while
 
Looks like two normals, the one he said is a butter looks like a creamsicle, but hard to tell. The other orange one looks like an amel. Are they all females?
 
Yep, all girls. The "butter" (actually, I think he called her a "butter snow" :nope:) is very yellow and orange. She very well may be a creamscicle. And both of the normals (or as he called them...."oaktrees" :duck:) may be root beers. They all may be hybrids, I have no idea. The amel has lots of white on her. He called her a "candy". Shes definitely not a candy cane, but she could be an RO or just a pretty Amel.

By the way, none of them are going into my breeding program, they'll all find nice pet homes after they get fattened up a tad and get a clean bill of health.
 
Since the guy doesn't seem all that knowledgeable about their morphs then I think it would be wise to side with caution and assume they are all hybrids. If any of them are gravid I would assume the offspring to also be hybrid since they were all in together and no way to know who the daddy is.

Hoping they aren't gravid though. Common morphs and not even knowing if they are hybrid or not could make selling them hard. It would also be hard to find homes for all those babies even if you gave them away. It shouldn't be so bad if only one is gravid but just image if they all turned out to be.
 
I'm horrible at picking names. I gave my snakes Norse names as a sort of theme. However I have 6 frogs that I've had for quite a while that I haven't named at all. I was thinking of doing a Greek theme since I've always wanted to name something, Prometheus.
 
Oh BS. They are much more likely straight cornsnakes than hybrids! Nothing about that second snake says creamsickle to me. Two normals, two amels.

I actually already made the decision to toss any eggs that may or may not be laid. If the big girl is gravid it wont be too bad, shes big enough, but if the other girls (the two girls that are 4 years old) are, they are both under 300 grams and the really little 2yo girl is under 200 grams. If they are gravid, I dont know if they'll make it.

He said the biggest male he had was chasing them all around the tank and biting them but he had not witnessed any breeding this year. I guess we'll find out.

The two males he had, one was a weird looking snow (it had pink saddles but they were almost diffused looking, and he had pinkish hue to his white areas and blank sides and belly he was actually really pretty) and the other he called a root beer and I think that was the only one that he correctly named. Since there was one rootbeer in there, im going to just guess they are all hybrids and thats why they are kinda funky looking.
 
The second pic still looks like a creamsicle to me. But the pics are all kinda dark so it's hard to tell. I don't see any reason to label any of the others as hybrids though. That's going a bit far just because one may or may not be. As far as names, the first one looks like a Ruby. The second one the first thing that came to mind for some reason was Dream. Third, blaze. And the fourth.... Ava. Just my suggestions lol
 
Read back through and seen the male was supposed to be a rootbeer and the females "oaktrees". Did he produce them or buy them from a pet store? Do you know where they came from before he got a hold of them?

The light amel looks creamsicle to me also. The other amel looks like a regular amel. Just has a funky pattern (mine has a swirly pattern so that doesn't mean anything.) The normals look really brown in those pictures.

I'm not trying to argue with anyone. Just trying to help. If they are going to purely pet homes then it doesn't matter. But it seems like everyone who gets a corn snake automatically jumps to, "I'm gonna breed it" mode in no time. So I think it would probably be best to disclose their history to anyone who buys them.
