    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 :).

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:
