Our new corn

My daughter (she's a 3-YO) loves her new pet snake... He is a corn snake and his name is Mello Yellow. He is six months old (we've had him for 3 weeks) and he's albino. His color is striped butter, and she chose him because he is yellow (her favorite color). He's only about 14 inches long right now.

Here are some photos:

Here he is getting ready to chow down on a small pinky.

^^ He's so cute, I love seeing younger people my age and even younger liking snakes, they are finally getting appricated. Ha, he is blonde like her too!
 
He is no "albino"....
He is a BEAUTIFUL Butter motley! (Which I prefer a wicked lot more!)
 
Well technically he IS an albino because due to his genetic makeup he lacks the ability to produce melanin (black pigment). He is genetically a butter motley which means he is homozygous for amel (albino) caramel and motley (which is a pattern variant).

I totally agree! Seeing younger kids and kids my age intrested in snakes is so awesome! I have three nieces (4, 7, and 9) who LOVE to hold my José and Delilah. Its so cool.
 
Welcome to the forum, and the hobby. Mello Yellow's a pretty butter motley, and your daughter is darling.
 
The confusion may have come from the seller calling him a "Motley stripe". The correct classification for your snake is a Butter Motley though. Beautiful snake! He/she will hopefully develop more yellow as it grows. Keep us updated on your new snake and your beautiful daughter! They make a very cute pair. ;)
 
We just fed Mello Yellow 2 pinkies in a row and he loved it... He's six months old now and I figure we will do a couple more double loads before moving to fuzzies...

The little girl just adores him and grabs each visitor to our house by the hand and pulls them saying, "wanna come see my snake, Mello Yello?" (except she pronounces "yellow" as "lello").

:)
