Newbie question :)

Hey fast reply & thank you! I'm PayPaling your deposit tomorrow morning. Thanks for that opportunity, my daughter is so thrilled & looking very forward to meeting you!
 
It's always wonderful to hear of someone new getting into the hobby! :) You two will be addicted pretty soon, just like the rest of us! :)

I also wanted to applaud you on your first choice being a Yearling! Yearlings are much more forgiving with husbandry errors then a Hatchling.

I'll be happy to answer both of your questions when we meet! :)

Thanks!

Liv's been asking questions for weeks now of her cousins who raise pythons & boas about, well, everything. Then talking on a message board they introduced us to. I found this one thanks to Google & love it over here, so we've both been doing a lot of reading here which helped a lot as well.

We were very recommended to go with a yearling and with a breeder, so how cool we found both :cool: right here! So another newbie question here...the morph is called Amel Motley right, but is there one of those other names as well? Like sunglow, caramel, butter, etc.? Those are the ones I've seen recently for my examples.:shrugs:

Basicly, it comes down to this. The morph is usually just a description of how the snake looks such as caramel has the color of a caramel (go figure). I saw the one you are getting and it is a amel motley. amel which is short for amelanistic is the same thing as albino. Therefore you have a Albino Motley cornsnake. Motley just means that the saddles are connected. take a look on the forum for some normals and compare. Now about being those traits, they cannot be homozygous for those traits because its not physically showing those traits. It can be heterozygous for those traits, but I don't think they are because it would have been listed for the ad.

I suggest you get a few books. The cornsnake manual by Kathy Love is really good, also the Corn Snake morph guide is a great resource too.
 
Again thanks...love the fast replies around here, lol! Okay that helped. Liv did pick up a book on corns the other day and I'm sending for the Kathy Love book for her as well. Can't seem to read enough about all of this right now.

Actually I homeschool so she's turning this into a huge science/bio project since she's doing so much research, etc. Then adding the photos she'll take a zillion of into her art portfolio. Can't beat that, learning what you love!

Sounds like you got it going! I loved school projects that I could associate into my passion.

Good Luck
