Hi all! I'm not entirely new to snakes, but just acquired my first corn and I'm wondering what you would call it's coloring?

Hubby's Boss: "I need to get rid of my son's snake."
Hubby: "My wife has snakes."
and presto, I have a new corn :)

Thanks! I've already enjoyed poking around the forum and I'm sure there will be more questions as I get used to my new buddy.

Sorry for the lack of quality... actual color is closer to the pics in the hide, but his upper body/head is somewhat lighter. Thanks again!
 
Thanks Wade... you guys can get confusing with all the beautiful morphs :) So this coloration is a naturally occurring one in the wild? Appreciate the info!

Already love him and can't wait for him to settle in a bit to handle him more :)
 
I agree with Wade, A beautiful Normal! happy to have you on the forum, way to post pics right away, we love pics :D Just a warning corns are addicting, but there a healthy addiction :D

LOL Typical guy conversation. He said "my wife has snakes" is he not into them enough to say they are "our snakes?" I ask cause my BF wants to call them our snakes, but I am the one who found them, purchased them, cleans their viv's feeds them, keeps a record for each of them and has read and learned all about them. so they are mine lol.
 
LOL, nope, they're all mine :) He's never liked snakes... he doesn't even know why, but tolerates my little obsession. The kids begged for the first one, a garter that had been passed around from kid to kid in our neighborhood. I felt so sorry for the little guy and once I held him it was all over :) He's still my sweet baby boy and is happy & healthy almost 8 years later. Since then I've added four more... two captive bred garter babies, one wild caught garter who needed someplace safer to stay than our driveway in the suburbs, and now this corn :) The corn wasn't on my wishlist, but he's growing on me :)
 
That is a very pretty normal corn! Sounds like my house, too. The snakes are all mine, and HE gets the dog.... and all exercise needs, training and clean-up that goes with her! Welcome to the forum!
 
He is very bright normal. I am guessing 2 -3 yrs. old? Congrats on the ne corn! My Normal is 2 and is almost Identical color to yours!

Not hard to imagine that at all! lol In fact, if they co-habitated like garters I'd already be looking for a tank mate for the new guy... still working on a name... I think I'm set on Sunny or Sonny, since he's my little springtime surprise :)

Nice 'seeing' you here as well!
