amber, pewter, blizzard photos

here's some photos of the new additions:

2003 Amber corn from Blue Ribbon Herps:

Yet another beautiful corn snake, I love her head pattern. She's so beautiful!






2003 Pewter corn from John B.

These aren't the best pics... its hard to get photos of the dark and the really light ones when its dark out. I'll get better ones soon.




Blurry, but cute:



and some better photos of my sub-adult blizzard, jasper:

nice pics~
are you sure that is an amber and not just a regular caramel?
cause it is kind of dark for an amber (at least compared to other ambers that I have seen) but it might be....cause it's always hard to tell by just the looks of an animal~ I could be wrong~

anyway great looking pics!
i love that little blurry pic of the pewter~
it's really cute!

caramels have thicker lined saddles. Imagine a true Okeetee with the thick, black line around the saddles-and that is a caramel.

My photos are also really dark, cause my camera's light sensor doesn't work worth anything.

Sorry I don't really understand what you are saying here.
But a caramel is a recessive gene. It's now used as a base gene to work with to get the butter and amber corn morphs. So caramel + hypo = amber and caramel + amel = butter. What I would call a true okeetee a) either from Jasper County where we really originate okeetees or b) selectively bred to get the thick black line around saddles

I am not trying to be rude here but just trying to clear things up a bit. Sorry if this sounded a bit rude~:thumbsup:

I meant to tell the difference, ambers have reduced black around the blotches, whereas most caramels I've seen have more black.

I meant such as okeetees with thick black borders around the blotches.

I'm not good at explaining things out so others can understand them.
