what is albino orange corn snake?

[dek593]

Is it albino het.? or pure breed corn snake? Is it just different name of flourescent orange corn snake?

 

[dionythicus]

It's probably just an amel corn. Unless there's reason to suspect its a creamsicle (hybrid).

You can see the picture on this site.

Can't tell for sure from that picture. Might be a bright amel, might be a creamsicle with high percentage corn genes. Dunno. If you like the look, ask around here & see who has sunglows or fires.

I would go with Creamsicle, here is an example of 2 of last seasons babies.

You can get orangy Amels rather than the usual red ones, but I'd be wary of any seller that labels a Corn "Albino" as this term isn't normally used. Most people understand "albino" as "= white", so the Corn world uses Amel and Snow to differentiate.There is the risk that the seller doesn't quite know what they are so there's a further risk that could be hybrid Creamsicles rather than pure Corns.

If you want an Amel that shows more orange than red then they should be around from other sources. There are probably places I'd feel happier to buy them from.

Yeah, they have no clue. It's probably a creamsicle as they have other corn varieties labeled as creamsicles but have them also labeled as Elaphe (Pantherophis) guttata. Guess someone needs to tell them the difference - e-mail sent. Wonder what sort of response I'll get.

Probably a negative one, Susan

I would be wary anywhere that labels and 'corn' as "albino".

 

[Tracee]

Gosh excuse my typos - that of course should have read that I would be wary of anywhere that labels any corn as albino.

I was thinking Rich's Fluorescent Orange Amels when I saw the title, but seeing that it's an ad... I would have done what Susan did and ask them. They might be a wholesaler just naming stuff what they think they look like, since they don't know the morphs...

 

[dionythicus]

I sent them a message that they should not advertise creams as pure corn. It isn't honest advertising and can lead to more hybrids unknowingly entering the pure corn market. I explained what cross it is (like they don't know) and I also told them that as a hybrid breeder, I want to make sure buyers know exactly what they are getting. It bothers many of us in the cornsnake community to see hybrids being sold as pure corn. I bet they won't respond or change their ads.

If a place is going to sell something, get the name right! Lol I'm not an expert but I would def go w/ Creamsicle! The lights probably make it look a lot brighter...

Ore this one

Is it albino het.? or pure breed corn snake? Is it just different name of flourescent orange corn snake?

This is a gene i am breeding for 9 years now AND THEY ARE NO HYBRIDS,
and don't forget the mandarine cornsnakes from germani they are orange to they are reccesive and mine are dominant.

@slangenbroed -- you are an honest, serious cornsnake breeder working with interesting genetics! That place isn't you, I think they are selling either an amel of some kind or a creamsicle and I think it's a creamsicle. You wouldn't call your gorgeous snakes "albino orange" either. These are two totally different situations. Your bufs & the Kastanies are not hybrids but I think Susan is right that the website the OP showed us is selling hybrids inaccurately labelled.

I just looked further into their website and they do understand what hybrids are as they have correctly labeled their Brooksi X goini kingsnakes.
