Either an amel motley or a hypo motley. It's hard to tell exactly what color the eyes are in that photo.
 
lol Either an amel motley or a hypo motley. If it has red/pink eyes its an amel, if not, it's a hypo. Very pretty snake!!

No one brought up SunGlow? :sidestep:
To be quite honest, I don't think I can recall ever seeing an amel motley that WASN'T a "sunglow". Personally, I reserve using that nomenclature for the non-motley amels with no white. And if someone has an amel motley with white, I would love to see a photo!

I don't know...to me a sunglow is more than just an amel without any white...I think they must have a certain brightness and "look" to them as well as lack the white... :shrugs:

As my OH would said "It's a corn snake" :grin01:

I am not trying to argue, I am sure you both know way more than me.
I am trying to think the best way to say this. Why not just say Sunglow in the first place? Again, I am not trying to argue, I'm trying to learn. The reason I put the side step in after my post is cause I knew these reactions would come. Seems no one can decied on what a Sunglow is, exactly.

I edited the quotes for space, not intending to take them out of context.
 
I'd label it a sunglow motley.

I haven't ever seen an amel motley with white ever. But I think that there are definately amel motleys and sunglow motleys. It depends on the intensity and brightness of the orange. Don I think has great pictures on his site illustrating the difference in brightness and intensity of teh color.
 
Personally, when it comes to Amel Motleys I normally save the "Sunglow" catagory for the really intense orange/red snakes. Susan is 100% right... I have never seen an Amel Motley that had white, so I guess you could call it a Sunglow, but only by normal-patterned standards. To avoid confusion though, I seperate the lables by color when dealing with the pattern morphs.

I would call the 1st snake pictured in this thread a very nice Amel Motley. I would call the snake pictured above a Sunglow Motley. Thats just me though.

SUNGLOWS

I'll put a end to this crap right now !!! The strain was first called no white corns, first developed by Bill love. They were amel corns that had no white markings dorsaily. It did not make a diffrance if it was red or orange but most were orange. The name was change to sunglows. In latter years the red amels became to be known as dayglows. Now good quilty orange amel bloods look just like sunglow and some sunglows strains are amel bloods.

SUNGLOW MOTLEYS

This strain is a amel motley which the backround color is saturated with a deep red/orange color . The blotch is a deeper color and not subdude into the backround which is the problem with deep colored amel motleys. These amel motleys were breed for deep color and high contrast pattren between backround and saddle.

The snake in question by the Op is a normal amel motley ( if the eyes are red )

NOW the snake posted by snakeparadise is a fine exanple of a sunglow motley

end of story , VINNY RITCHIE
