I love the colors on my snow corn. Yellow, green, blue, and pink to be exact. The pics dont really do justice, but i wanted to post them anyways. Any guesses on sex while i am at it?

Can you "pop" it? and take a pic. It looks like a female but with babies you cant tell unless you evert them. It could a some other type of corn.

If you have the proper sized probes and know what you're doing, you can probe baby Corns (and most other snakes as well).

The colors and slightly blunt head shape of that snake lead me to believe it may be a "Jungle Corn" (aka Corn snake x California Kingsnake hybrid). I've never seen a Snow Corn with that range of color before.

Hello
My friend has several snow corns..as they have matured, they had secondary colors show up on them...one is white with yellow, white with green and a white with purple. Cool, but none are as cool as the one in the photos above...that one has ALL the colors in one snake!
Its a beauty and quite unusual...I hope you post again when its older.
Thanks for sharing
D.

Man, that's no joke! More skillful hands than mine taking those pics.

My adult snow has some pretty intense yellow around the head and neck but not much contrast aside form that. It has yet to shed in my care and I'm feeding her pretty good so hopefully soon...we'll see. The lady I rescued her from said she shows some nice pinks and purples. Definitely pics to come after she sheds.

That is an incredible looking corn you got there, Snipes. I must admit total jealousy and by doing so, deserve to have it. My address is..... ;)
Definitely keep the pics coming as it grows.

Just a few more i took today. I heard that colors get more brilliant as corns grow older, so will the colors change or get more apparent? Also, why are the colors brighter and more apparent towards the anterior end by its head? A jungle corn? I had no idea corns and kings could breed together, unfortunetely, i know not its origins. As for sexing, i dont know how to pop or probe and i would rather have someone experienced do it than me because i would hate to do it incorrectly. Thanks so much for all the kind words!
