Re: What type of corn snake do i have?
yup, alot of times the belly pattern (or lack thereof) tells the tale of what you have

Re: What type of corn snake do i have?
I agree with the hypo conclusion. It's a pretty snake, for sure.

lets put the pics next to each other and see.
A Hypo has reduced black coloring. An Amel has none at all.
A Hypo more closely resembles a Normal. An Amel more closely resembles an Albino, just more red and orange.

Re: What type of corn snake do i have?
They change color with each shed until they are adults. For Example:
Hypo-Amel Hatchling

Hypo-Amel Yearling

Hypo-Amel Adult

Re: What type of corn snake do i have?
So even though yours doesn't look like a hypo hatchling, or a hypo adult. It does look somewhere in between.
Hatchling

Adult

A hypo will have belly checkering, a hypo amel will not

Ok well hopefully I can tell what it is for sure soon, especially by the time it turns to adult.

Re: What type of corn snake do i have?
Congrats on your new addition! I'm pretty sure it's a hypo as well.

Re: What type of corn snake do i have?
Normals can vary a lot so I would not be so quick to call your snake a hypo. If his belly checks are black he is a normal and if they are brownish he is most likely an amel. The only way to prove it would be to breed it to a hypo or a snake that is hypo with something else, eg a ghost which is a hypo anery.
Amelanistics lack back. They do have belly checkers, they can just be very light. Amelanistics have red pupils. Motleys and diffuseds (bloodreds) have no belly checks.

Re: What type of corn snake do i have?
You could be right, but it has so little black, I think it's a hypo.
