So I know this girl is an Amel...and I know it's a crappy cell phone pic and the colors are kind of washed out, but she almost looks fluorescent to me? Anyone else?

She kinda does, but generally the colors on a real nice florescent "pop", if you know what I mean; hard telling with your pic. Has the white bordered saddles too, but lots of amels do 
She'd be a neat start for florescent or even a reverse Okeetee project. The only problem is when you don't know the history of her lines background, it could throw a breeding plan totally out of whack. Say she's an obvious "fail" from a candycane breeding, or just a extra from a breeding project where amels were the "byproducts" of the results, not the goal. She'd make a poor candidate when her bakground is such...
Sorry corn snake geek alert should have been posted earlier...
Pretty amel, definitely not a "vomitmel"

Lol...Well I like that her borders are very thin, because my male is a Sunglow, and has absolutely zero borders, so I wonder if I'd get a mix of slim borders and Sunglows, or all Sunglows from them...

Considering that Florescents are line bred Amels it's kind subjective. Reverse Okeetees are a good example of a line bred amel "morph" that gets tossed around a lot. Many Amels get labeled as Reverse Okeetees even when there's been no breeding program behind it.
That's when we have to ask ourselves, "is it a Reverse Okeetee or Sunglow or Flouresent because it's been part of a line breeding program, or because it looks like one". In my opinion, if a snake doesn't fit the standard for a line bred morph, even if it was part of a line bred project, it shouldn't be labeled as such. If a snake does fit the description, it should be labeled as such.
It just gets a little more confusing with these morphs that are technically just Amels, yet may also fit into one of the other line bred categories.

Well put Jessicat! :cheers:
From what I see in the picture she looks like she could be Fluorescent....but really need a better quality pic in order to see the brightness of her colors. I would say she is not a Reverse Okeetee because of the thin white borders.
Thats my 2 cents! :grin01:
