Ok so i bought sid as an Amel Motley. Since having him and learning a bit more about corn's, i've noticed that the Amel Motley's that i have seen have had red eyes. Sid has black eyes. Also has a chequered belly pattern if this helps. Any ideas if he really is an Amel Motley or something else? Thanks.
You're right - definitely not amel motley. But I don't think he's a normal, either. He's way too bright for that, an the borders around his saddles look gray/ purplish. I'd guess he's some form of hypo. Are you 100% sure his eyes are black, and not very dark red? It's just that he reminds me of an ultramel I've seen ages ago, but it's hard to tell from the photo. What colour are his belly chequers, are they pure black, or gray/brown/ orange?
I would say definitely a hypo :) Definitely not either amel or motley I'm afraid... although personally I would go for hypo over amel anyway ;) And I think Sid is gorgeous :)
OK, I warn you now, this is an extremely dangerous site... but if you really want to know more about corn morphs go here. But... you WILL WANT MORE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!! http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_guttata/
Haha yeah that's the site I was looking at earlier. also on feeding sid tonight I noticed that when the light catches his eyes they look very , very slightly dark red.
Identifying Sid.
