Im struggling to differentiate between the yellow corns as juveniles and adults.
The Amber, Butter, Caramel and Creamsickles.
Its easy enough to find out how each is produced but when looking at pictures its not too easy to tell what is what. Is it just me ?
I have a number of pics of each but they dont help a helluva lot as there is some variation in each morph.
Can anyone help with this.
Im talking of young and adult snakes. What do you look for to tell them all apart?

Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Rob

PS: No i dont breed any of these unfortunately, i know that would be the best way to learn.

I think it's pretty easy to tell the difference between these guys. Maybe there might be problems telling a light caramel and a dark amber apart, but otherwise you shouldn't have a problem.

Creamsicles are an orangish color for the most part. Some might be yellow, but most aren't. Butters are the yellow ones. I think butters are a sickly colored yellow as babies and change into a pretty yellow when adults, but others disagree.

Caramels are brown/tan/maybe greenish. Ambers are just lighter versions of caramels, although I've never seen any green tint to an amber, only on caramels.

I'd say just keep looking at photos and sooner or later you'll catch on.

0.0.3 Goldfish (Kabuki, Isamu, and Yuki)

Something else that might help to differentiate some of the snakes is that both the butters and yellow/orange creams are amelanistic, and so would have the red eyes instead of black.
