This is the first baby i have ever hatched out so i am quite happy....not sure what color he is tho. I am not gonna tell you what the parents are since that may say your decisions =) Let me know what you guys think.

LOL!,....geeesh!,...it went from too bright and washed-out, to way too dark!,,haha!.....that's worse than the other photo!

I'm having a little fun here with my comments,....but don't ever apply anywhere for a photographer job!..

Wow!..I've seen better photos, it's pretty washed-out, but it "looks" to be a ghost. I can just barely tell it's a snake!..LOL!

It would be nice to have the parent's genetic lineage though, that way you'd get an absolute answer, unless of course BOTH parent's had hidden recessive traits that are unknown, in which case you could only speculate.

Yea yea i no..let me try to get another picture. Anyway the strange thing is that the father is amel and the mother is an okeetee.

Kinda....god i hate this camera

Holy smokes!,.....Did the camera come from a box of cereal?..LOL!....just funnin' with ya!..haha!

>> "Anyway the strange thing is that the father is amel and the mother is an okeetee."

Nowadays, in the cornsnake world, it's pretty hard to get snakes anymore that are NOT het for other traits,..as your breeding also proves. I'd like to know what the rest of the clutch looks like, but judging by the opaque see-through markings on the head, and the dark eys being visible through it's skull as well, leads me to believe it is indeed a ghost corn. So the amel mother must be het for hypo(type A), AND anerythrism. And the Okeetee sire is also het for the same two traits. It seems sort of against the odds, but the proof is in your hatchling there.

It would be interesting to see how the other sibs turn out when they hatch!

I got some camera tips =P so ill try again tomorrow cause the guy is getting upset with me messing with him lol. There are 5 more eggs that "look" like they will hatch so ill let you know when i get the rest of the clutch.

I just love surprises like this =D

sometimes my reverse okeetee's produce snows that look dark like that, it's hard to tell from your pic's though.

looks either normal or anery or ghost... hehe but could be anything!!!

Corns, Creamsicles, A Black Rat, Thayeri, Cal Kings, A Jungle Corn, A pair of Ball Pythons, A Bearded dragon, Leopard Geckos, Green Anoles, a Snapping turtle, and a white cheeked mud turtle

The photos aren't too good, but it's most likely an anery. A surprising number of snakes that I've seen happen to be het for anery (which is probably what the snake's parents are). It could be a ghost, but since that involves matching up two traits (anery and hypo) it's less likely.
