Whiplash Hornet View Profile	Amel/Anery/Hypo Hey. I’ve been reading up on all the different morphs and I’ve got up to the Hypomelanistic section of the Corn Snake Manual, though I’m a bit hazy on some of them. I was wondering could you guys tell me if i’ve got this right? Amelanism/Amelanistic/Amels A lack of black pigment often brightens other colours Results in snakes with no black, such as: Sunglow Reverse Okeetee Anerythrism/Anerythristc/Anery Inability to form red and most yellow pigments Lack of red and most yellow Type A Anerythrism - Lack Red, can have yellow Type B Anerythrism - Lack Red and most yellow (None or very little - charcoal) Melanistic: Form of Anery or Hypo, pure black. No such corn though Chocolates come close. Hypomelanism/Hypomelansitic/Hypo Type A - Black pigment reduced wit ages. Fades to brown or all together. Type B - Okeetee Patterns and less than usual ammount of black. Type C - (Lava corn) Translucence to black pigment, lighter in colour than other Hypos, predominantley orange. Type D - ’Ultra hypo’ so lacking in melanin they appear almost amelanistic but without the red eyes. The other area in which I am confused is the ’Carolina Corn’. As far a I know snakes carrying this gene (or something like that) are able to reach 5-6 ft. (With three of the relatives of my snake being around 7ft) Rather than the usual 3-4. Is this correct? How long would it take a corn with this gene to reach full size. Thanks very much guys I would appreciate any help. Cheers! Hornet.
