This is a normal, not an amel......

i know that was why i posted the photo they girl said it was an amel, im not good with tiny baby snakes, i think she mixed the amels and normals up and didnt know the difference....

First off that isnt a Amel, like the others posted

Second that looks very much like some of the Miami phase corns that Sean & Monica Niland produce at VMSherp.com(these guys have some of the nicest corns ive ever seen available), So you may have a miami phase on your hands but it may just be a classic.
Just my Opinion.

Not only is it a normal, but it looks like it may be a motley, as well. Those stripey lines down the side may mean that the 'spots' will stay. Nice snake regardless. Enjoy!

Ok, so I replied to your message telling you that it was not an amel, and I said "the best snakes are free snakes" and said that peaches and chunk were free, never mentioned the breeders name or anything, and then they DELETED it...... why?

i have noticed alot of jaysonj's post have been deleted....
back to my little snake, i wasnt really concerned with the color or the morph, the girl said it was a amel, i believed her, around here they seem to mix the snakes up, i did notice from the photo though the snake is going blue,
and after reading leslies post i went a took the snake out, i never noticed the stripeing til she pointed it out...LOL

With motley, you also get sort of a pseudo-hypo effect, which will make for a brighter, lighter set of colors. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised as that one grows and sheds.

Normal and not a motley, but a very nice snake even so!

Looks like it could be a Normal Motley, not an Amel.
