I was/am watching a crocodile hunter episode in which steve goes to eglin airforce base. During part of the episode he goes to some vietnam-recreation tunnels(built in the last 40+ yrs) to look for bats and finds one of the coolest corns i have ever seen. It has reddish orangish spots down its spine but other than that is almost entirely grey/black. It colors are so striking, at first i thought it was an anerythistic (sp?) snake. I always thought that snakes like that are a biproduct of intensive inbreeding like amerythistic (sp?) This got me to wondering if it was the environment that promoted cornsnakes of such strange coloration, or if cornsnakes of different colorations choose different environments. In other words, is it selective breeding the only influence on a snakes coloration or does it naturally adapt.
