new to the site and corns

[Paddy]

Hello everyone,
I got my first corn a couple months ago and im hooked. I've been doing as much research as possible to make everything perfect for rita but still have some questions. Is there a certain period you need to wait in order to tell there sex or can they be probed at any age. And I cant really figure out what morph it is with all the pictures I've seen. Any help would be great

welcome to the site, lots of awesome, helpful people here. rita looks like a snow to me, but what do i know

Welcome Rita and Rita's dad(?)! I don't know what morph rita is either. You might like to post a picture and ask in the Photo Gallery. A belly shot helps in the identification, I think.

Welcome to the forum -it appears to be a snow corn. Thanks for sharing with us. Here is a very helpful link to some of the various corn morphs to help get you started.

As far a sexing goes, hatchling corns are usually "popped" - here is the link to Kathy Love's video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ1g_kv_jko

Here is Kathy's video on probing - she has the kit available on her website.

thanks for the help we figured it was snow but couldnt really tell with all the different pics, I'll give the popped method a try when i get home.

I don't know much about morphs, but Rita is a sweet little snake. Welcome!

Hello and welcome! Agreed on the Snow morph. You can also candle/LED sex young, light colored snakes if you aren't comfortable with trying popping, it's a less intrusive method that is fairly reliable.
