Herbie - New Corn Pics

Here are a few pics of Herbie our new corn. Guy at one of the pet stores said he was a male cause of the long narrow tail, but I will probe anyways. I am pretty sure he is an albino. He is also about 2.5' long. My son is on top of the world, I have a huge metal rack with in his room with 2 corns in them. Separate cages of course.

On a side note I might be getting two full grown BPs with a 4'x2' cage for $150 from a girl I met in town. I have enough rack space for them and I want the cage for my RTB when it gets here.

On another side note my wife is mad. She told me just yesterday no more snakes. She also said no more guns after my first one, I got 17.

Can you believe just 6 months ago we got our first herp. We have nine now.

Gorgeous corn!

ooorrraaaannnggeee!!!!

Orange corns rule. /nod

Ok, help me out here. He has pink eyes is he orange or albino?

Very pretty :)

Should we stage an intervention??? :P

Pretty fella you have there!

Lets not go with the intervention. I am getting my way with things. If that happens to change feel free to intervene.

I still have my RTB on the way and I am really considering those to balls.

Yes, it is an albino. Pretty snake.

It is fairly reliable to check tail size/shape to sex colubrids, but still not 100%. Probing or popping is still the way to go.

Wow I thought Herbies Colors were nice before. He was in a shed the whole time. Stupid me was expecting blue eyes. He is even sharper now. The kids woke me up this morning and told me about him.

Oh yeah? Prove it! /tease :P We need pictures!!! :D

shelby, how big can a corn be and still be popped safely?

lars, isn't that a creamsicle?

as some creams have less white than others?

Yes, he might be. I am researching him. Is creamsicle a type of albino trait? Corns have so many morphs, it's hard to figure them out. He does have white around his "saddles" (best word I could think of).

creamsicles are a cross between two different snakes... can't remember off the top of my head and i need to go feed my tarantulas right now... i'll post later if no one else fills you in ;)

Creamsicles are cornsnake x emory's ratsnake (Pantherophis guttatus x Pantherophis emoryi) I think it is.

Lars have a look at this site....my fav for corn colors and patterns....in some ways your Amelanistic (albino) corn is to my eye a bit closer to a Sunglow (just a selectively bred Amelanistic really) but I don't think it's a Creamsicle. I'm not a corn breeder though nor do I own one but I've always admired thier lovely colors and patterns so have a few links put away for someday.

I am really confused as to what Herbie is now.

He looks like a regular old albino corn to me. Sunglows are typically brighter, and do not have the white around the saddles (minimal). Creamsicles are indeed a hybrid.

Recycling Goddess - a corn can be safely popped at any age, it's just not as easy when they're older! I've popped my 4.5' california kingsnake.

that's what i thought... i'll let the person who told me otherwise, know!

Beautiful corn, I have one kind of like it, my one is almost 4 feet now.
