I'm curious. What morphs do people dislike, or just feel completely uninterested in? Ticksterpup got me thinking about this. I know Hurley doesn't much care for yellow, and tricksterpup is completely unimpressed with the cinders. But I really don't have much of a sense of what people don't like in their corns.

I'll start.

amels:
I HATE amels that have a lot of white and I'm very picky about amels in general. Reverse okeetees, candy canes, vomitmels, blech. The ONLY ones I like are sunglows or near sunglows. I do like a nice fire, but it has to be flaming--like Lore's!

snows, blizzards, champagnes, opals, etc. (all those basically white ones with subtle colors): Don't like 'em. I have no appreciation of subtlety.

caramels: Don't like 'em. Look dirty brown-yellow to me.

ambers: Don't like 'em. Still too dirty.

butters: I'm very picky about butters. Of course, I hate the ones with white, and I also don't like the ones that are pale. The only butters I like are those bold, rich, two-toned all yellow ones. The ones that look like, well, butter.

normals: I like an excellent Miami (like Huddleston miamis) or an excellent okeetee(like Russell's and corncrazy's lines), otherwise, not so much.

hypos: Don't do much for me.

And you?
 
I'll play :)

Amels- Don't like 'em in general. I don't like Reverse Okeetees or Sunglows. I do like Candy Canes and some of the Sunglow Mots though.

Anerys- I love the way that baby anerys look, but almost all of them get ugly as adults. I would love an anery adult with high contrast and DARK saddles, but I haven't seen a great example of that yet.

Caramels- Bleh. I think that they are boring unless they are motley. If I want a good looking brown Corn Snake, I'll get an emoryi. :grin01:

Caramel Bloods- Besides the lack of belly checkers and the very slight bald head look that bloods have, they look exactly the same as Caramels to me.
 
I can't say there's any morph I really dislike, but there are a few that don't interest me...

Reverse Okeetee - these have never done much for me. I don't like the colours.

Aztec - can't say what it is about them, but I've only ever seen one I liked the look of.

Ultramel - I don't dislike them as such, I just don't find them all that pretty.

Hypo - Don't like the much.

I am also a little unsure about Lavenders and Ghosts. For a long time I really disliked them, but they are starting to grow on me, the more I see of them :)
 
Yellow- Ugh, I'm with Hurley on this one. I don't like any of the yellow morphs. The only yellow snakes I have in my collection are the Hypo Kings, and only because they are a means to an end. Once I reach my goal of Snows and/or Ghosts? :shrugs:
 
There are a few out there that I don't particularly care for, though for the most part if it is a corn snake I like.. lol

Caramels: Normal, ordinary caramels and some caramel stripes or motleys are just ugly. It's not the yellow brown that turns me off, it's the retchid greenish hue that many adult caramels tend to get (regardless of the pattern). I do like Ambers, Sunkissed caramels, and butters though. (Providing there is little to no green!) Oh, and if any one is wanting to know, all 4 caramels in our collection belong to Tim. I take NO responsibilty for thier purchases! lol

Um.. um... I know there was another... I can't think of it right now, but if I saw it I'd know! lol I'll have to go look, cause I just can't think of it. Oh, but I do know one I can add..

Normals: Now, I'm not talking about Miamis, Okeetees, or anything like that. I'm refering to very dark, melanin washed, dull looking normals. All of our normals, with the exception of two, were purchased strictly based upon what hets they were carrying and the majority of them are pretty clean looking. One of my fav snakes is our Aztec normal, but he has no black wash covering his back. The other normal is OK, but you'll be hard pressed to find very many pics of her as she's become darker as she got older. I won't go out of my way to buy another normal now, not unless it had at least 2-3 or more desirable hets that I could work with. Striped and motley normals would be OK, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get one.

I think that's it, but for the other morph I can't think of...

I'll play along...

Amels--I'm not a big fan of Amels, in any form, really. I do appreciate a nice sunglow, but the other amel varieties just don't do it for me.

Snows, Blizzards, Opals, Bubblegums, etc--Any of the "high white" variety with the pink and green overtones...They just don't interest me.

I guess I just don't like a whole lot of white on my corns, though I pretty much want one of each of the rest of the morphs I can think of ;). Unlike the above posters, I happen to be a big fan of the "yellow" morphs...carmel, amber, butter. And I love the look of an anery with alot of yellow around the throat area.
 
In order:
1. Aztec/Zig Zag/Zipper et. al. I prefer a 'perfect' pattern of saddles down the back. ('Perfect' Motley and Stripe is NOT included with et. al.!! :) )

2. Creamsicle Discussions Especially when a picture is shown and people start relating that it looks like a creamsicle . . . can't happen.

3. Cinder/Z If emoryi creates hybrids when mixed with pure corn, why doesn't Key's? They look good, and I'm not taking that away from them. They are so visually different from a 'pure' corn, similar to emoryi and their mixes, that I question their 'purity'. Maybe a topic for Dean's controversial series?! :shrugs:

4. Opals that look like Snows.

5. Ultra Not overly impressed with the look of Ultra's. Also, along the same lines as my personal thoughts on Cinder, the purity of Ultra's is much more in question considering the Grey Ratsnake that is proven to be in their backgrounds!

Other than these 5, I don't think there's much else that I don't necessarily like . . .

Not many that I outright don't like...but that being said, here are the ones that I am not fond of.

Butters - Not sure what it is about them. I don't mind yellow, but I guess I just don't like the whole snake being yellow. The yellow that shows up on an anery or ghost doesn't bother me.

Amels - I like Amels, but I prefer the ones with little to no white (reverse okeetee being the exception). I don't like the ones that have a lot of white but not enough to be considered a reverse okeetee.

Snows, blizzards, opals - I can't really say that I don't like them, I am just really picky about which ones I do like. I can't even really pinpoint what it is about the ones I do like that make them stand out to me. Mike for example has a blizzard that I absolutely love, but I don't know why he seems so different to me than others I have seen.
 
First of all, I'd like to say that all you caramel haters are crazy! ;)

There isn't a morph out there for which I can't find examples that I like. Honestly, I really do like just about every corn I've ever seen. But these are at the bottom of my list.

Amels (straight-up, single homozygous): Very few of these do it for me. Combos can be a whole different story (e.g. sunglow mot, fire).

Anerys (straight-up, single homo): I'm with Trev on this. If they could only retain the hatchling look. Again, combos are a different story (e.g. granite).

Aztec/Zig-zag: I don't hate them, but they don't interest me.

Snows: There are some really cool ones, but in general, these are kind of blah to me.

Dilutes: There are some beautiful examples, but they don't interest me.
 
I think Jenn said if it's a corn snake, I like it.
I feel the same way and it would be a lie to say I didn't like a particular morph. However, even though I own a few of these, my least favorites would be the snow, blizzard, opal, yadda yadda yadda :grin01:
I also have not been bitten by the diffused bug as of yet, but Joejr and Dean aren't making it easy! :grin01:
 
Im not crazy about any of the white ones, blizzard, snow, opal.. too plain. (although I can appreciate their beauty, just not for me to have one). Do not like the candycanes or reverse okeettees blech..

I do however love, the rosy bloodreds, bloodreds, miami, okeetee and abbotts, normals, and some of the sunkissed morphs, in particular sunkissed okeettee. Butters and caramels, guess it would depend upon the smoothness or creamyness of the yellow tones.

But as has been mentioned earlier in this thread, I can appreciate the beauty of all corns, all snakes for that matter.. just particular in what colors attract me.
 
I don't like straight up amels, snows of any kind, or Anery's with a lot of yellow. I'm not a fan of bloodreds either.

My favorites are high contrast/little yellow anerys, normals with bold colors, and granites.
 
LOL a thread started cause of my Dislike of Morph Z. That brings a tear to my eye.
Well as I said, I am not a huge fan of the Z morph. To me its an unimpressive snake that cost way to much. I know its a new morph but dang, even if I won lotto tomorrow I would not buy one of these guys. They just do not scream a must have. But I am sure there are some really impressive snakes out there, i just haven't seen them yet. I keep on seeing hatchlings are yearlings. Very few impressive adults.

Others I am not impressed with.

Amels with lots of white. I love the sunglows and I am impressed by Adult reverse Okeetees. I have a girl right now that is becoming a very pretty snake.
 
I like them all really... but if i had to pick one I'd go with the Reverse Okeetee. Their look really doesn't do anything for me.

I'm with you - I love the yellows. Butters are actually my favourite morph.

Connor and I agree with you, Dean! ;)
I'm biased I know, but caramels are beauties!
 
Stop Hatin'!

First, we had the 'Amels=Blaaaa' thread. Which invoked the love of Amels.

I guess this one will start the following threads:
'Why I love my Plain, White Snake'
'A little white is OK'
'Aztecs are the Coolest'
'Don't be so HYPO-critical'
'Anerys: it don't matter if you're Black and White'
'It's not easy being Yellow'
'Isn't Normal normal?'

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So it's a good thing there are so many morphs to choose from.

At least we all agree: WE LOVE CORNS!
 
Hmm. Interesting. If you are going to add a morph to your list of dislikes because you question it's purity, you think you would add Ultras to the list. :shrugs: But that's just me. Brent, Charcoal also originated from Keys corns (Pine Island Anerys were they?) so don't forget to tack those on as well. ;)

Over the years I've started off not liking morphs and sooner or later one would make it's way past my hands and I would end up liking it. I've really gotten to a point where I see beauty in them all and RARELY seen an ugly corn of any morph. I don't like Ultras because of their shady past, but I think they are pretty.

And trickster... nothing personal, but what I also don't care for is how people actually have to post that they don't like a morph in almost all of the photo gallery posts that contain one. I certainly wouldn't chase around all the photo gallery pics of Ultras and talk about how much I question them. But I hope that statement doesn't hurt any feelings or get blown out of proportion. :sidestep:

My dirty secret... OK, I do own an Ultramel Anery, but she is a known hybrid and her offspring will always be sold as such.

Sorry if the spelling is off, Spell Check is having issues today.
 
I love all of them. but if i had to choose my least favourite....

i've never really been a fan of miami's. don't know why. grey just isn't interesting to me, i guess.
I love normals....but the more contrast the better, the muddy brown ones are not as pretty in my mind.

I don't really like blizzards and some of the whiter snakes. It just looks odd to me.

but I doesn't really matter that much- snake personality matter more to me than morph, as i'm not a breeder.
and well...likely won't ever be. (although i really sometimes get the urge to go down that path, i also don't have the resources, time, money or demand. i'm better as a pet owner.)
 
I like contrasts, but nothing too garish - so a nice dark anery is wonderful, a hypo lavender with peach background and mocha saddles is pretty as a picture, and even in the "white snake" category an opal with a vivid orange background and really pale saddles is a very attractive animal.

Amels, butters, caramels ... none of them do it for me. Too much, too bright, too gaudy!

Ideal snake is the equivalent of a candycane/miami but in anery ... give me another 20 years or so to work on it :)
