Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Morph question????
I am fairly new to this color morph breeding thing, needless to say I am astounded by the many color combos that are possible. I ususally just breed normal looking snakes. But my kids like the colorful variety of corns, so now I have some in our collection. So if I am informed correctly, an "Oak Phase" is the product of a "Miami/hypo/crimson" or easier how would I get "Oak phase" if I had a pair of "Miamis', 1 male Hypo, & a female Crimson...and what do the various hets that they have mean? Will it affect the end result in obtaining Oak phases.

Do you perhaps mean Okeetee? If so, it is in no way related to do Miami, Hypo or Crimson. A Miami is selectively bred for a silver base with burgundy saddles while Crimson is a Hypo Miami (Hypo being recessive). Okeetees are selectively bred for a vibrant orange base and thick black borders. You would never get Okeetees from Miamis.

I know Okeetee's and they are nice looking snakes. Oak phase is a line derived from Miamis and crimsons, they originated through VMS herp. I happen to have a crimson from his line and also some other morphs of his stock, I also have a pair of Miamis...Im a little lost in he genetic make up of the this morph though. www.vmsherp.com

If you read VMS's website, "Oak" is just their name for their particular line of Miami. So it's a selectively bred Miami (which is selectively bred to begin with). Being that's the case, no, you won't produce those by just pairing Miamis, Crimsons and/or Hypos. You would need to have VMS's line of Miamis as those would be the only ones that could be called "Oak" if that's widely accepted (I've never heard of it).
Hypo x Crimson (Miami Hypo)
=
Hypos - some could possibly look like Crimsons, but by breeding the Crimson to a non-Miami, you are diluting the original look gained from selective breeding

Since it is a selectivley bred Miami...If I bred my Crimson who is 50 percent het for amel and VMS stock to a regular Miami BHB line whos hets im awaiting on a reply for, the clutch would be regular Miamis het for crimson? The reason I ask is because crimsons r red in the blotches and mine looks more orange in color.

Unless VMS specifically sold you that Miami as an Oak, you really should not call it an Oak (or expect to produce Oaks from it). To avoid confusion, they should have left it named what it is, a Miami, instead of renaming their own line. It's just going to cause confusion.
Miami's (and Crimson's since they're Hypo Miamis) are highly variable because they are selectively bred. Some will have the desired silver base with red saddles while others have a tan base and/or orange saddles. Carol Huddleston has the best Miami's you will ever see as she has been working on perfecting the morph for years.

whoa
At no point in any of my posts did I mention that any of my snakes where Oak phase. I merely asked if it was possible to breed them with the animals that I have...forgive me for not being an expert on the subject.

The first paragraph of my last post was in reference to your first two posts in this thread (which references having "a crimson from his line"), expecting to produce Oaks. Some of it was also myself thinking out loud about "Oak" in general. I have provided several links for you to check out photos and learn more about Miami in general.
Nothing I said was cause to use profanity, however. Responding to people in that manner won't get you very far on the forums.
Good luck with your snakes.

The profanity was not directed at you, Its just how I am, talk and type for that matter. In your last post it seemed as though you thought I said I had an Oak..and you also pointed out that vms is causing confusion by renaming their Miamis...Which is why i posted on here a simple question and in turn you elaborated on and your thoughts were appreciated and still are. Forgive me for being on the offensive Im just used to being so. This forum is just full of know it alls and people pushing their views and practices via posts and crucify you if you do things differently or arent up to speed with a herpetologists education. Again im sorry..i was just offended at the moment.
