Amel or creamsicle corn?

[arachnocat]

I got this beautiful girl last week. I know she's an amelanistic corn but can you tell from the pic if she's a creamsicle? I've been looking at pics but can't tell the difference. Some pics of creamsicle pics look like her and others have a greater contrast in colors.
Anyway, she's really pretty. I rescued her from someone who wasn't caring for her well. She's 6 years old but very small for her age and skinny. She's been eating great for me so I think she'll be fine.

I should be simple to tell just by looking at the snake. Amels shouldn't have yellow. The yellow color was bred in later when amel emory ratsnakes were crossed with corns. So if there is yellow, chances are somewhere along the line the "creamsicle" trait was mixed in there.

Thanks. She does have some yellow on the side, but I think that's normal for albino corns. My snow has yellow there too.

not a creamsicle. This is a creamsicle:

as are two of these:

(the pinker looking one, with the tail closest to the bottom of the post, is an amel with really faded coloring.)

notice how the creamsicles are pretty much orange on lighter orange (although the first pic is the dad of the two in the secon pic, and he's more salmon). Yours is red on white and yellowy-orange. Hope this isn't too confusing...

Not the yellow to which I was referring. Look at the creamsicles in the above photos. They areas around the saddles is not white as it is on albino corns.

That's not a creamsicle i have one that's just a normal Amel

I agree, normal amel not creamsicle. The color too red/bright for a cream.

how do you guys like corns as far as pets? i'm trying to decide on another snake hehe

 

[Jmugleston]

As a pet, they are great. They don't get too large, and they are easy to keep and breed. I kept and bred them for a few years and would recommend them for a good starter snake.

Well I started with just one, now I have 3 and I'm getting a Jungle corn tomorrow
They're great. I hope to breed mine in the spring and make some interesting babies

Your baby is beautiful!! I agree, its an amel. It has red in it.
