The herpetologist said she was a stripped strawberry albino corn. Her stripes are blood red and her body is orange and her eyes are blood red as well.

Boy!!,...yeah, I sure do see PLENTY OF RED!!

Your hand and everything else looks bloodred/strawberry too!..LOL!

Thank you, I named 'her' Nagini. The herp I talked to said it was a girl, but I don't think she was all the experienced with snakes. I wish my camera would pick up her true colors. Here's a few more of her. Her red is so crimson and her eyes are stunning.

The lighting on the camera is a bit off, so it's hard to see. I giggled at the top pic because I couldn't see the pinkie and I was thinking, "What the heck? Is that a snake eating itself?" OK, I really need to finish that first cup of coffee, lol!

Sounds like a nice corn you picked up!

Thanks! Yeah that's my next project saving up enough money to buy a nice camera to take pictures of my collections.

I hear ya! My daughter is on me to buy one on-line TODAY and my husband wants me to wait until Christmas when they are cheaper. My cameras are terrible and I am no photographer!

I'm glad you didn't take offense, it just caught me as funny early in the morning and I was laughing more at myself.

Looks like a standard striped amel.
I don't know how you'd get "strawberry" out of that.

That's just what the herp called her. But maybe she didn't know her stuff. She is albino and has red stripes and her body is orange. Could you maybe classify her better? Maybe you know a bit more about them.

If the colors are super bright and saturated, and there is no white from borders, she might be called a sunglow stripe.

While normally patterned sunglow corns lack white (or have very reduced white) borders, I've never seen any striped amels with white borders. I think the term "sunglow stripe" is reserved for exceptional specimens-most I've seen with that label had very deep orange/red coloration to the point that the stripes were faint or barely visible. If a sunglow stripe was an amel stripe without white, I don't think there'd be anything left to call a regular amel stripe since they'd all be considered sunglows at that point.

Her stripes are very dark red and her orange is very deep as well. She has no white on her. Her eyes are very dark red as well. The camera dosen't depict this because it's not a quality camera.
