My little corn snake was sold to me as a blizzard. Buut i see a pattern on him. I was wondering if i might have gotten tipped off...his pattern is not Super well defined but it is very noticeable. for this reason i am not sure if i might have been sold a very light snow corn in mistake for a blizzard.
it looks just like this one in person

From what I can see in your video, it looks like a blizzard. If you purchased it from a reputable breeder, than you should trust that breeder to know what they are producing.

On another note, I was a bit concerned at the start of your video that you not only fed your new anery as soon as you got it, but you also handled it excessively soon after it ate. Both are not recommended as it stresses them out and can cause a regurge.
 
yeah man...trust me. im learning that the hard way unfortunately :/
I actually have a thread i made on that exact point....Now i take about atleast 3-4 days b4 handling after feeding. thanks for the suggestion!
 
I am pretty ok at telling morphs apart...but not with blizzards...I know that there are some blizzards with a pattern...i also know that snow corns have a distinct WHITE pattern which is easily visible even from far away. my question is, Are there snow corns which look almost identical to blizzards? as in, theyre pattern is VERY faint, unlike the usual snow corn which has a white pattern with a pink background...this girl is almost completely the same color..theres just a tiny silhouette of the pattern. again, id recognize most snow corns apart from blizzards in an instant, i just want to know if indeed there are some snows which cud easily be mistaken for blizzards. and i DO trust my breeder but hey..people make mistakes. plus he gets these from the pet shop that he works at.
 
With only the video to go by, it will only be an educated guess at best. If you could post good photos of the snake in various lighting situations, we may be able to give you a more definite answer.

As babies you can see the pattern in the blizzards but it is lighter like you said than most snows. By the looks of your baby, I think that you have a blizzard.
 
Still a blizzard IMO. And you really need to learn how to post your photos directly on this forum. Check the FAQ to get all the information you need.
