Pictures aren't brilliant I'm afraid, but I'd go with:

Snake 1: Normal (possibly Hypo - pic is a bit blurred)

Snake 2: Motley

Snake 3: Amel Motley/Stripe.

1. Hypo- Light colouring and see the belly checks aren't solid black but faded brown.
2. Normal/Hypo Motley- Plain belly and motley pattern, breeding trials would be needed to see if it was a hypo or not.
3. Amel Stripe- Red eyes plain belly and clear stripes on top.
4. Normals- Darker colouration than 1 and solid belly checks

Well i'd go with.....

1, Hypo and by the look of the belly checks i'd say possibly het bloodred.
2, If the colours are accurate i'm pretty certain its a caramel motley.
3, Not sure if the colours are out on my laptop (quite possible) but i can't make out if the eye is red or not. If it's red then amel stripe, if not then hypo stripe.

And yep, those others are normals.

thanks everyone.

the first snake is very red in real life and was given to us as het lavender. we have a male and female so the babies could be interesting next year.

snake 2, we were told was a chocolate stripe and he has just shed yesterday. he was quite brown before he shed but is a bit reddy brown now.

and snake 3 was supposed to be a sunglow stripe, but she is really really pale coloured so we were thinking amel stripe for her. she is stunning. of course i'm every so slighty biased on that one.

they came with a little amel as well. not a bad lot at all

Well, i've never heard of chocolate being a corn colour morph, it's either a hypo or a caramel imo, but it is motley and not stripe.

Sunglow is a selectively bred amel to show no white. Most motley and stripes don't show white anyway so they are often referred to as sunglows. If in doubt it's an amel stripe.

Number 2 has dark eyes so it can't be butter.
