hi from the uk, 1st time snake keeper

[dannylill1981]

hi all, found this forum by accident, but glad i registered and have been lurking around for the last few days.....lots of info anyway i digress,

my names danny, im 29 and a 1st time snake keeper i have 2 corns both about 3-4 months old, a male anerythristic (at least i think thats what he is) and a female which i were told was a carolina although looking at the pics on ians vivarium morph guide could easily be a okeetee or an ultramel.... so some help on that would be appreciated.......

any way heres some photos.....

Hi Danny welcome to CS.com...Your first pic looks like a normal corn snake. I've seen some other "Carolina" corns posted by members from the UK; I'm going to assume the parents (or the line producing them) have a background that traces back to wild-caughts from the Carolinas here in the states, hence the name...

Your second is definitely not an anerythristic, and to be honest I'm not even sure it's a pure corn snake. Something about it looks "off" :shrugs:

Still pretty snakes :*)

hi chris, yeah over here there called carolinas, obv normal corn snakes, as for the 2nd thats a suprise as i bought it at a herp show/fair from a corn snake breeder who had loads, and is quite well known in the circles in the uk so i cant imagine i was sold a duff snake......

 

[dannylill1981]

btw the 2nd snake is a lot darker in the flesh, the flash washes it out quite a lot.....

 

[dannylill1981]

Does anyone have an idea what type of corn my second snake is ??

Thanks

Hello dannylill1981,

Although I don't have input on what kind of corn you have, I do want to tell you that both are lovely...and WELCOME to this forum. If you're so inclined, you can learn so much here!

They're both great looking snakes. Your second one looks like a cinder to me, but I'm pretty new here.

The second snake looks like a normal in blue to me. :shrugs: Has a wicked head marking though!
