Amber (no aka)
Most Commonly Used Name: Amber
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Recessive
Morph Type: Mutation Compound (Caramel + Hypo)
Eye Color: Black pupil & body ground colored iris (some can be so hypomelanistic, their pupils can be gray to dark red).


This compound recessive morph results from combining the two recessive color mutations, Caramel and Hypo.  Just as one would expect, the product of the two is a pleasantly yellow corn snake.  Many mature to be virtually the same yellow as Butter corns, but with black pupils, instead of the pink pupils of the their Amel counterpart, the Butter corn.


What to expect:
As neonates, most have brown markings on a gold-colored background, but virtually all mature to be shades of yellow. Adults are virtually always two shades of yellow with little to no black or gray blotch bordering.


Important Note:
The advertising images on our web site are representations of the average adult example of each morph.  These images are not renderings of the actual animals being offered, (except for uniquely offered snakes found in the SURPLUS section of this web site).  We do not provide pictures of individual hatchling snakes for sale, nor do we recommend that you ever choose a new pet based on an image of its neonatal form.  Corns change so dramatically from hatchling to adult, they will NEVER have the same colors or contrasts throughout maturity. While most of the snakes we produce will mature to resemble the featured adult image(s) on our web site, unlike manufactured products that are respectively clones of each other, the nature of polygenic variation results in each animal being similar but not identical to others of its morph. The snake we select for you may not mature to be identical to the pictured examples, but will be chosen based on our experience of observing which neonates will mature to properly represent their respective morph.  We take this responsibility very seriously, and therefore publish the guarantee that we will exchange your SMR snake if it does not mature to be like our advertised examples.
