Corn snake morph identification?
This is my older brother's corn snake - she's about a year and a half old now I believe. My brother said he'd looked into her morph and found out that she was a 'Sunkissed orange'. I just looked up photos of said morph and they look nothing like her.

She's a beautiful snake no matter her morph, but I've been itching to know what people think she is. Her name is Trixie

Night photo


poor photo back when she was younger


Very young shot of her - the pink has turned a vivid flame orange.



Generally, she's orange with white saddles that turn to orange saddles about 2/3 down her back. If my brother wasn't so possessive I would hold her and take some pictures but she's his snake and unless I'm bringing her to him so he can feed her I hardly get to hold her.

Re: Corn snake morph identification?
that's what I'd been thinking when I was looking up some pictures. She's got bright red eyes like albinos of most species do.

Re: Corn snake morph identification?
Maybe a reverse okeetee?

Re: Corn snake morph identification?
no checkers on her belly - my friend has a plain okeetee.

No black to be heard of and her belly is totally spotless.

Re: Corn snake morph identification?
Just looked up a different morph - I thought my brother had told me 'sunkissed orange' which looks nothing like her. Now he's saying she is a 'sunkissed dreamsicle' >.>

Re: Corn snake morph identification?
-sighs- this is why I wish he would let me hold her - talking with him (live in the same house) and he says she DOES have light orange on her belly, he took a look at the reverse Okeetee and says that looks like her. We'll be getting her out in a bit and doing more research...

He doesn't think she's albino because of her eyes - they're not a deep red, just a pale orange-red color.

Thanks all for your input so far, I didn't think what he told me she was sounded right. >.>

Looks like an amel to me. Hard to tell in those pics if it is a reverse okeetee or not but I think not as the bands don't look thick enough.

Yep, definitely an Amelanistic or amel for short (think they may be known as albino in the states?)

I agree, the last pic looks like an Amel albeit a much lighter shade of Amel than I've seen.
