Hi could anyone tell me what morphs these snakes are, I know they're not particularly crazy but to a novice like me all these variances are daunting; I bought a creamcicle trio but the male looks different and how comes one females red whereas the other orange? Is that just natural variation in the morph or would you descibe them differently. Is the fourth pic a motley ghost?-thats my expert conclusion! and is there a term to describe the yellow/green (not sure slightly colourblind) on the anery. Thanks if anyone doesn't mind helping me out

The top male looks in shed, but if they were sold to you as creamsicles, then yes, that's what they are. Creamsicles with higher amounts of cornsnake lineage (creams are emoryi crosses) will look more reddish, but are still considered creamsicles.

The motley looks like a nice anery motley... and I don't know of any specific terms for the yellow on the necks of cornsnakes (though it's not uncommon for anerys to show it).

I agree with what she said :)
 
He may be about to shed but I really just cant really see his resemblence to the two girls, thanks for the setting the record for me on them though!
 
Again repeating that if they were sold as creamsicles then thats what they are, if they are not then the 2 non shedding corns look like amels, then we have the anery motley (very very dark, very attractive), first saw it thought it was a granite.
Then an anery and the yellow on anerys is maybe down to carotenoids or a secondary system to produce yellow (quoted from pages 91 and 92 of kathy and Bills loves first corn snake manual, I aint that smart really hehe :grin01: )
