Those orange colored Amels that I hatched that came out of the egg looking like Creamscicles have undergone quite a color change during their first shed. Now they are all a pretty bright red. Are these Flourescents?

Thats a hard call. You may have very bright amels but I wouldn't go as far as calling them Fluorescent Corns.

Fluorescent Corns were a line started and refined by Rich Z at Serpenco. If BOTH of your parents were Fluorescents from the Serpenco Line then yes-by all means call/market/sell them Fluorescent Corns... If not, then you really can't call them something they aren't.

From your post it seems that you are unsure of your corns genetics- ie mentioning that they looked like Creamsicles (guttata X emoryi hybrid). IMHO, I'd just call them amels (unless you KNOW there is creamsicle blood in your line...then ethically you'd need to refer to them as creamsicles since they are not PURE corn blood).

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

That's kind of what I was leaning towards but I needed other opionions.

I bred het to het to get these so everything was kind of iffy. I'm pretty positive that there is no Emoryi blood in the line.

Your welcome. They look like very nice normal amels!
Congrats on a beautiful clutch.

"Isn't that just special?"

I agree that they are just amels, but !!wow!! they are beautiful. That red is REALLY red!

Its been a while since I had a "plain old amel", and now I wish I had one.
