I bought her as a sunglow, but she's been developing a lot of white around the saddles towards her tail. What do you think? I put her near the window so I could take the photos without the flash.

Looks like a creamsicle to me.

It's definitely a creamsicle. Sunglows have much richer red and orange colors. When Emory's rat snakes get into the corn snake family tree, they dilute the reds to come out yellow/orange like your's.

I was afraid of that. She's supposed to be a sunglow, possible het for lavender stripe.

I bought her from Stephen Roylance in '04 (before the hurricane) to breed to my lavender het opal stripe.

Stephen is a very honest and honorable person. He may have felt that it looked like a neonate sunglow and therefore deserved the name. Sunglow is a look and not a recessive trait.

It's fine, I'm just not going to breed her now. She's still one of my babies.

I think she's a great candidate to breed, especially since it looks like you had planned to in the first place. With her being a possible het. lavender and/or stripe the potential for Amel Stripes, Opals or Opal Stripes WITH a possible influencing of their colors by the cremecicle background would be hard to turn down...but thats just me lol...

Dont let the fact that she has an Emory background deter you from including her in any future breeding plans. A LOT of amels out there have some Emory's, or anything else, lurking in them. That could be said for a lot the corn morphs in play. The best you can do when you clutch babies to sell is let potential buyers know that there's Emory in the line. You'll still have no problems selling babies. At the very least you'll get normals het amel & lavender, pos. het. anery A & stripe and amels het lavender, pos. het. anery A & stripe...JMHO and good luck :*)
