What is he?!

Gary.jpg


- Can anyone tell me if this is an Amelanistic Albino Corn, or a Motley Albino Corn? or just an albino? I don't know. I say Albino Motley do to the dotted yellow pattern behind his head which gets washed into his pattern. He has a darker head, as it gradually gets lighter and more reduced towards his tail. He has red eyes, you can kind of see them in this picture. So I know he's not a normal.

Re: What kind is my corn?

Not the best picture but it looks like an amel to me. Doesn't look motley but one way to tell for sure if it has belly checkers or not. Motleys will have no belly checkers

Amel for sure. What does the belly look like? If it has checkers then it's an amel. If the belly is pure white then it's a motley.

That's not 100% true. Some motleys do have checkers on there bellies.

Re: What is he?!

Yes. I purchased some blood red corns back in June from a local guy. One of them was a motley blood red. I knew nothing about corns bit he brought up the fact that this guy had a couple of checkers on its belly. He had the lineage certificates from RRR reptiles that the male was motley and the female het motley. He showed me on a forum (rc I believe) that motleys can have a few checks.

Re: What is he?!

Are the checkers sporadic on the belly or just small but present along the whole belly? Have you got any belly pictures you can post, I would be interested to see as I have never seen them on a motley before?
