Hmm where to begin i'm originally from florida where my family raised everything from leopard geckos to burmese pythons (and we still to this day have special reptile permits from florida even though i havent been there since i was 12) corn snakes are actually wild in florida and i used to catch them play with them for a while and set them free along with many other snake species but my parents never saw the point of buying me one when we had so many other herps and when i could catch them on my own when i moved out to colorado i kinda gave up on herps for a while figuring it was too cold to keep them out here but after some research i got back into them with breeding california kings and red tail boas well when my dad got laid off work it was sell my herps or no groceries so i sold my stock and once again gave up for a couple years until this year when i went into a local petsmart saw a tremper albino giant leopard gecko and wanted it so badly it was over 100$ so my parents said no but then less than a week later my dad comes home with these tupperware containers and inside them are five rescued leopard geckos ranging in morph from normal thats het for enigma to hypo tangerine to leucistic they were all badly malnourished and not tame in the slightest but i have since brought them back from the brink of death since then i have rescued a adult male bearded dragon a adult male tokay gecko a adult female veiled chameleon an adult male panther chameleon (which i later had to sell due to tight money cause of a family emergency) 2 baby corns one a regular amel and the other supposedly a hypo okeetee although i'm not too sure about that (my corns are the only ones i havent gotten for free as rescues) and thursday i'll be rescueing a adult male corn snake that is the weirdest looking morph i've ever seen and i eventually plan to breed him if i find the right female. my other pets include 2 siamese cats 2 small dogs a rat terrier min pin mix and a chihuahua 5 horses 2 cockatiels and a hahns macaw i'd love to find other colorado herpers to hang out with i got my boyfriend and sister into the hobby but otherwise i don't really know anyone i'm 18 my name is leah i plan on going to college to get a PHD in phycology and i'm just your average girl i guess also if anyone in the colorado area needs to give up their reptiles i can take it in and give you monthly picture updates on your baby that way you know it goes to a forever home if you have any questions about me just ask i'm an open book

oh i almost forgot heres pictures of my babies this first ones a little blurry cause it was taken from a cell phone camera it's wiggles he's a hatchling and i was told he's a hypo okeetee but i'm not quite sure on that

then this is wiggles and slithers in their tank all cozied up after a nice meal of pinkie i plan on seperating the soon slithers was bought in a pet store as an amel but i think it might be a snow although it does have red eyes and i'm not good with corn morphs

and last but not least is hughey he's going to be picked up thursday and will be my latest rescue he's a black albino motley, 66% heterozygous, dilute, amel, caramel. Hatched on 7-4-2007 and i'm getting him and setup free i can't wait to meet him i've never seen one quite like him

oh and if anyone wants to help figure out what slithers and wiggles are it's definitely welcome

Wiggles looks to be an Okeetee or a normal depending on how think the black borders are and slithers is definitely a snow and that new one your getting is a beautiful snake, looks healthy too, might be a ghost motley, awesome find.

Welcome to the forum BTW!

welcome to the forums

Not sure what wiggles is but slithers definitely looks like a snow.

wiggles definitely isn't a normal he's got too much orange outside of his black borders to be a normal he's either a hypo okeetee or a normal okeetee he was sold as a hypo okeetee from a petstore to replace the reverse i bought that was defective and died but i think it's a regular okeetee and i figured slithers to be a snow since i bought him in petsmart and they said it was an albino but i was like looks more like a snow to me and thanks it's pretty cool here so far

Normals have a lot of variation, but you never know.
