    Help Identify the Morph

    So here are some recent pictures of my little petsmart rescue. I'm not sure what morph he is, so a little help would be greatly appreciated .





    Regards,

    I believe that is an amelantistic, but the corn experts should arrive soon to give their opinion.

    Re: Help Identify the Morph

    I noticed that he looked close to a shed as well. He's coming up on almost a year of age...and according to his chart that I recieved from Petsmart, the last time he shed was the end of November. How often does a snake around this age usually shed? I suspect that he probably shed more recently than that, and they just forgot to mark it on the chart. But, it was something I noticed, so I thought I'd ask.

    Regards,
    Josh

    Re: Help Identify the Morph

    My corns don't shed all that often. Zim's (snow corn) last shed was on 12/20. It could just mean that while in Petsmart's care they were only feeding him a "maintenance meal" so he wasn't gaining much size and therefore, wouldn't need to shed that often.

    Re: Help Identify the Morph

    Mine's an adult (at least two or three) and sheds roughly every month and a half to two months. I'm going to side with the folks saying that he was only fed a maintenance diet.

    Re: Help Identify the Morph

    Due to wanting to keep up with things right from the start...what would be a good diet for a snake around this age. He's on fuzzies right now I'm told. It's been a couple years since I've had a snake...so I'm trying to refresh my memory on some things haha.

    Re: Help Identify the Morph

    Looks like an amel in shed.

    Feed him something that is about the same size as the biggest part of his girth, or even a little bigger, like 1.5x as big. If you can see a noticeable lump after it swallows its meal, but the lump is gone within roughly 24 hrs, that seems about right.

    If you have a scale and like following a chat, you can use this feeding plan:
