    Corn Snake bellies

    I bred a normal male to a snow and got a few snows, an amel, an anery, and some normals. One normal popped out pretty light in comparison to his/her siblings. Here is a comparison of the lighter corn and a sibling.

    Normal Sib


    Lighter corn


    And since the lighting is a little off for those two pictures to get a good comparison, here is the only picture of the lighter corn in with some siblings. You can see his/her head poking out and you can see how much lighter he/she is.


    Yesterday, while I was cleaning their tubs, I noticed that the belly checkers on each normal. The normal sibling has the usual black checkers. The lighter sibling has flames on his/her checkers, just like Dad. Here is a picture of the father's flames to give you an idea.



    I kept the lighter corn back as I wanted to see if he/she developed to resemble the father more (lighter, very little black). Little did I know she had the belly flames too.

    What are your thoughts on the flames? I'm a beginner with corn genetics so I'm pretty sure it means nothing. I just found it interesting.

    Unfortunately its nothing. That is quite common in corns. I'd also wager that after a few more sheds, the "darker" sibs will look more like the lighter one. Sometimes colors come in faster or slower for certain snakes. Usually after a few sheds, they're mostly looking more or less the same.

    Thanks! All of them are eating like little machines and growing. I don't even know how many sheds I've pulled out of their tubs so far. The little snow is still needing to be hand fed but he is growing steadily.

    You are always such a big help with all my corn questions.
