What morph are they?

mullinsn2000 Dec 30, 2006 07:33 PM

Here are two snakes that I may purchase because I like the way that they look, but was wondering if someone could tell me what morph they are? Thanks in advance!

Orange= Hypo
Gray= Ghost

I am going to say a hypo normal and the other could either be a lower quality (dark) ghost or a light anery. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish between light anerys and dark ghosts. If it is a male and female, you could breed them and possibly prove out the hypo if they are compatable forms of hypo, that is. Hope it didn't confuse you.

They are indeed male and female. Orange is male and the dark one is female. I was thinking about trying to breed tem this year. I am looking for a place in my basement that is th right brumation temp.

I would have to say anery and...well....probably hypo.

... a frosted ghost or anery. I'm not crying "hybrid" here, but it so closely resembles the frosted aneries I used to make, it may be a cross between anery corn and gray rat. If you notice the anterior and ventral-lateral yellow is not the classic yellow we see in ghosts and anery corns, but a darker and more egg yolk color, there's a possibility it is a hybrid. Also, common in such hybrids is an absence of corn snake head markings. Either atypical corn head pattern or none at all. Perhaps the resemblance is because the snake is in shed or from the photographic quality of the image so don't take this to be an official call. Take some pix of these snakes in better light and it will be easier to help you identify them. Of course, I agree with everyone on the other one being a hypo. A full body shot of both in better light would help.
