So, I found this snake in my backyard this morning...or rather, rescued it from one of my cats, who thought it was great fun to hunt. It is a corn snake, right? I have a ball python, but I don't know a whole lot about corn snakes, so I was wondering what morph this one is, and if anyone could give me a ballpark estimate at its age.




(Sorry it's so blurry)

For size reference, it's stretched out in a shoebox, and that's a 5-inch plastic pot next to it.

I assume it's an escapee...they can't survive a Pacific Northwest winter (temperatures down to about 25 degrees F), can they? I'm going to put up some fliers and ask the neighbors if anyone's lost their snake, but if no one claims it, I think I'll probably keep it.
