hellooo people!
im new ... and welll i joined to know more about corn snakes and to look into get one ... but i have been told to do lost of research ... and i have looked but cannot find the answer to the following question ... was wondering if u guys could help.

i have been doing research on different types of morphs ... and am wondering why in fact there are so many types of morphes to begin with and also what are the differences between them ;

for example : a granite corn snake and a charcoal corn snake look extreamly similar in my opinion... what is the difference ... do they have different caracteristics or what ?
or even a bloodred and a granite... excluding the colouring and maybe pattern what is the difference ?:shrugs:
 
They look the same because you don't have a trained eye.

Morphs are all about color/pattern, yes. Not characteristics.

There are so many because people like different colors and corns have good genetic variance, hahaha.
 
Well they are also different genetically. For instance, if you bred a snake with a granite, you would get very different looking offspring than breeding with a charcoal. They have underlying characteristics that are passed on to their offspring.
 
You should get the corn snake morph guide it has a great genetic intro and explains what the genetic makeup of many of the morphs is. A granites is a homo. combination of anery a and blood red. A charcoal is an anery b, and a blood red is diffused. The corn snake morph guide will explain what all these are and help you get a grasp of all the names and genes that make them:)
 
... thank you aaron ... my question has been answered ... i reposted the question in the proper field XD
