Well we are off to look at two corn snakes this Sunday (both adults needing a new home). The female is a Blizzard, the male is a Creamsicle (okeetee type).

Now on doing research something came up that I'm clueless on. It seems that a corn snake is Elaphe guttata but a Creamsicle corn really isn't a corn as it's got Elaphe Emoryi (great plains ratsnake) mixed in...so is a creamsicle therefore considered a hybrid and not really a cornsnake at all???? (danged confusing!) Is it splitting hairs as both are genus Elaphe anyways?

I may never consider breeding these two snakes (they just need a home and I do love corns almost as much as balls). If I ever did breed them tho...what the heck would they produce? I can't use a Corn Snake genetics calculator as it doesn't recognize the Creamsicle male. If I did breed them do I sell the babies as corn snakes or as hybrids?
