I just tried to respond to this and back paged instead of posting! Here is similar to what I said. The corn loks to be a butter, or carmel. are those classified under amel? As for getting the snakes to sit still, I just photographed my whole collection. I think it depends on the snake. Some require a little pressure, others it is least restraint possible. Some of mine sat still if I just held my hand infront of them. You could try a deli cup, or have food in the vacinity. Other people take pics while their snakes are actually feeding. Good luck with future pic.
Sorry for mistakes, or summing things up, but I already typed this once and lost it before I could post it.

No i am sure it is a amel. Its just my camera. It changed the color a little. For some reason some of my pics of that snake come out green lol. But no it is just a sucky $20 camera. But thank you for your advice. i did not relize it until you said it but my snakes do seen to sit still when there eating. Thanks hopfuly my next set of pics will come out better.

My first post was better, but like I said, I lost it and did not feel like retyping everything. BTW Your snake has very nice markings.

I think your pics are fine, and that's a beautiful snake, no matter what morph it is!
