What morph is my new baby corn snake?

Hi, any suggestions on what my new baby corn snake could be?

Here are some photos and a photo of the mother and both possible males...

Female is the Candycane on the left and the males are either the Normal or Anery.

Here are some pics of the babies...

Thanks for the reply, thats what i suspected. I was thinking maybe they were candycanes or reverse okeetee. I have only just started looking at different morphs so im just trying to get my head around it all at the moment. Is it me or is it quite confusing?

In between my post and this reply i just had another normal hatchling come out of its egg.

Thank you :)
 
I wouldn't call a snake with more than a VERY VERY minimal amount of yellow a candy cane, as an adult. So if you're seeing yellow right away in hatchlings, it is only going to intensify. RO is more of a sliding scale- plus there are a couple types. The classic type is an orange and red snake with thick white borders. Other people call a high-white amel a RO. You could still hatch ROs. It will be easier to tell after they shed.
 
I was told it was a candycane when I bought her so I just took the pet shop keepers word for it. What would you say it is? I am currently trying to learn more about telling one morph from another at the moment. Dont know where to start, there are so many different types.
 
The mum on the left was almost shedding in that photo so she is actually a bit brighter red like this photo

Mom is amel, males are normal and anery. The last baby pictured is a normal.


As a guy who owns a pet shop, it never ceases to amaze me how much better candycanes sell than amels that are often prettier! Your shop owner might have used that nickname because people seem to like it. I wouldn't describe that girl as a candycane, personally.
 
Thanks Chip, I wish I knew that when I bought the snake because I called it candy but oh well. lol

Also are there variations of an amel? or an amel, is an amel. If that makes sense?

and so this little guy is an amel too? or would you say it is a candycane or any other morph?

SO many normal corns get sold as "Okeetees" here in the states that are clearly not Okeetee's. Same with the "Carolina" corns solds overseas. Just sounds better than "normal". As does "candycane" vs amel. Pretty lil babies tho :)
