Hullo just getting into the fancy corn stuff so some morphs I can't quite identify yet. Got some hypos almost 2 years back and one is particularly bright red and awesome looking. I'm kinda hoping she is strawberry but I'm not 100% sure. Very pretty bright red colouring that just seems to get brighter as she gets older. Also has some belly checkers too. Shes much more vibrant in colour compared to my other 2. My camera doesn't do her much justice sadly. Any thoughts?

The coloration initially reminded me of my dilute, Gabriel. Could be hypo or strawberry, or hypo/strawberry. I'm not really experienced in identifying the strawberry...yet. You may want to check his shed the next time and look for pigment in the shed. If you see absolutely none, like a shed of an amel or snow, then he's dilute.

The pics are a bit hazey, but it looks like a nice colored normal corn to me. Normal corns are EXTREMELY variable just in themselves.

Now if it was a Ball python or hognose, then it would of course be a brand new $10,000 to $20,000 genetic morph....... :duck: :laugh:

Just thought I'd pitch in!
I hatched this snake lol, she is a hypo for sure, not sure on the strawberry though. Her mother looked like maybe strawberry, but I no longer have her.
It was a hypo (looked maybe strawberry) x pewter het hypo pairing. So if mom was strawberry, she'd be hypo/strawberry right? As would the other hypos in the clutch?
 
Is there photos of this snake kicking around from when it hatched? I agree with the normal conclusion, I hatched out a couple of normal babies last year that could nearly pass as hypos especially when placed beside their normal clutch mates, but they were just VERY nice normals that were only 50% ph hypo. Their mom was an incredible very bright red normal with a fully red belly aside from the black checkers.
With the pairing that the snake in question resulted from the blood gene from the pewter could be having the affect on the fact that the snake is bright red. the majority of the clutch *should* have been normals, some likely much nicer than others.
