Getting a salmon snow corn snake

I'm new to this forum, I just wanted to post my soon-to-be new salmon snow corn snake! He's so cute! I cannot wait to get him and see how beautiful he is in person. I have heard and read that coral snows and salmon snows are the same? Yet coral snows sometimes look not as intense pink as the salmon snows? I'm still very confused because I have seen the traits are the same consisting of red factor, anery and amel? Both are beautiful. But here is my soon-to-be SALMON SNOW CORN SNAKE! :)

When a Corn has one copy of RF, it is usually slightly pink, and we typically call it a "Coral". When a corn has 2 copies of the RF mutation, it can be intensely pink and we usually refer to that as a "Salmon". Enjoy your new cutie :).
 
He's lovely! There's definitely some confusion with the naming conventions because breeders had their own trade names for their pink snakes years ago. Nowadays, SnakeSmithS is correct and most breeders follow that convention.

Oh thank you so much for that clarity! That makes more sense now 🥰 I'm not too sure if he has 2 copies of the RF mutation or just one. But the pink snakes I've seen from this breeder are beautiful. The picture of the mom I've seen it's in bad lighting but you can tell she is pretty and has some blue halo rings on her as well 😄

Hello @Everyone see this beautiful and soft colour "Snow Corn Snake"
The Snow Corn Snake results from selective breeding, designed to combine two key traits: amelanism (absence of black pigment) and anerythrism (absence of red pigment).

This breeding effort started in the 1970s when reptile enthusiasts sought to create visually striking snakes by eliminating darker colours.

The outcome was the beautiful white and pink Snow Corn Snake we know today.

Genetically, the Snow Corn Snake is a double-recessive morph, meaning both parents must carry the genes for both amelanism and anerythrism to produce Snow offspring.

This unique genetic combination gives them their pale, snow-like appearance with pinkish eyes.
