well i thought when breeding a normal okeetee corn to a ghost corn you would get normals het anery and hypo right? well a BIG surprise turns out i hit the jackpot and both parents must have been het albino cause it looks like there is two lil albino heads pippin out ill get pics once they come out more and i figure out if they are albino or just very very bright normal but my money is albino BUT this also means if the ghost is het albino my other clutch i am waiting on to hatch will have snows in it and albinos and hypos this first clutch so far is a good start for season for me ill post pics 2marrow of everything that is pippin out/hatchin/hatched

any1 have any idea on what kind he/she is its eyes almost look like normal eyes so im not sure about albino and this is not what you are supposed to get when you breed a okeetee to a ghost but is always welcome lol there is i think three that color pippin out

Looks albino to me. Though, I don't know much about Corn Snakes, so it might be a crazy morph (there are so many!)... but if it was any other snake I'd say for sure that it was albino. Take a look at this guy..... my friends Reverse Okeetee (aka Albino Okeetee):

Is it just the picture or does that snake have that much blue in it's coloration?

Hmmm..... I don't see any blue on my monitor. The asphalt in the background has kind of a bluish tint on my screen but that's about it.

Hmm.... looking at that section I do see a very very slight bluish hue... I didnt notice it at all at first. That is supposed to be the transleucent (sp?) part that turns white as an adult.

yeah thats what I thought as well, and that's why I noticed it, I love reverse okatee (sp?) corns and blood red, and...ok I like a lot of corns lol

im not sure where you werer lookin but there is a blue hue to the snake in some areas. and i have come to the conclusion that the okeetee is het for hypo pss het for anery since one of the other eggs pippin looks to ber anery and another ghost time will tell once they come out more.

Hey! That's mine! Isn't Squee such a handsome little devil?

I no longer breed any type of corns, but my best friend does, from my and his experience's corns sometimes carry a lot more recessive traits then known to the breeder, they have been breed so much by so many people, sometimes you have no idea what their genotypes are hiding beneath their skin. I have heard some from Kathy Love are throwing bearded dragons!

HAHAHAHAHAHA HEHEHEHEHEHE

lol, I didn't mean it in a bad way, corn snake breeding can be quite rewarding, but it is true you never know what might spring up, plus I thought the bearded dragon comment was funny

Tim,
...Looks amelanistic to me. I bred Cornsnakes so long ago that all I bred were normals. Here in the Savannah area the Cornsnakes get very nice orange and black rather than typical black and white checkerbourd patterns on their bellies when they get big. IMO they are nicer looking than the ones I used to catch in the Okatie area.
