I am the corn snake kid!
I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but here it goes anyway.

Ok, over the last few weeks I have noticed pink ovals forming in teh spots of white around my snows neck. At first i dismissed teh thouhgt thinking it was just the light making it look orange-ish pink-ish. However, every time I see him, the splotches are getting brighter and brighter and brighter. Is this nomal? Thats a fairly outdated pic (hes the hardest thing to take pics of unless he's in the middle of dinner....), but I think it still gets the point across. He's het blizzard, but that should'nt have anything to do with it. Any help?

Do you notice this when it's eating (like in the pic)? If so it's probably because when it's eating it is stretching some and you'll see the pink between the spread out scales that you wouldn't see when the scales are laying normal.
 
Many corns show ground color in the saddles. It's not unusual for it to go to some extreme.

That is normal. All babies base colors fill in as they mature. The spots you are referring to are the base color areas surrounded by the attached saddle colored area. In this case, seeing as it is a snow, it is getting the pinkish tones that will be its base color. In an Okeetee that would be an orange color, in an anery a greyish tone. That color will get more intense as it grows. How much more depends on the genes of your snake.

Have fun watching it grow and change. That is one of the coolest things, watching them develope their colors.
