Hey guys, i'm new to this forum but i've had an anerythristic corn for about 4 months. He's a 5 month old named Fluffy. I have an album of him up on my website, check him out and tell me what you think. And dont be scared by the URL name, it's really a harmless site.

Fluffy is an absolutely gorgeous cornsnake, but is wonderful example of a normal corn, not an anerythristic. The dead give-away is the bright red/orange saddles. Anerythristic corns, even the most extreme brown/light brown ones, don't show that awesome red/orange like yours does.

Naturally, I deleted all the pics I have of hatchling anerys this morning except for the anery aztec I'm keeping. Since it's only to compare color, it should do nicely.
 
aaah ok, i had no idea it was a normal corn. i thought the normal ones had a bit more orange in them. again i'm new at this but he's been very very good. behaves well, very curious, LOVES to be handled, and eats right out of my hand. I did a BUTTLOAD of research before getting him. I just hope he's happy with his lifestyle. He's in a 50 gallon tank with lots of stuff to climb on and burrow under. He's active a lot, and i read that they are mostly supposed to be burrowers. is this a sign of bad things?

The oranges and yellows develop a little later on.

As far as burrowing, some do and some don't. Nothing is qwrong with either.

Welcome to the site!
 
Fluffy may get alot more orange to his ground color as he gets older, but if not, then he's a really nice Miami Phase. It's often difficult to tell with normals since they can change alot as they grow. Either way, he already shows alot more color than the average normal for his age and you are very lucky to own him. Guaranteed, he'll be a stunning specimen as an adult!

Fluffy may be a little intimidated right now in such a large viv. Hopefully, all the "stuff" you have in there will give him a sense of security. Since he's very active, he must feel pretty safe. Corn snakes are often much more active at night than during the day, thus the "misconception" that they are mostly burrowers. An owl would consider me a "burrower" since I rarely get out of my bed once I've gone in! Again, consider yourself lucky to have a corn that tends to follow your time shcedule rather than what nature dictates! Alot of keepers never get to see their corns until after sundown!
