We don't need more pics to know that John is right. That's a caramel motley. "Q-Tipping" is just a term that's used when the ground color that forms the "ovals" on a typical motley's back are fused into longer shapes (often barbel-ish). "Q-Tipped" motleys are still motleys. It's a cool look!

That's hard to say. A hatchling caramel motley with no known hets could probably be found for $30 or $40 (but shipping will be additional if you can't find one locally). That snake looks like a juvenile, but it's hard to tell. You might tack on another $30 or $40 for a well-established 2008 (or smallish 2007). A proven male adult could go for $100 to $150. A proven female could go for somewhat more.

Numbers are VERY approximate. Cornsnake pricing varies widely depending on many factors. Subjectively, a snake is worth what you're willing to pay for it.

Well its free cause its a "damaged" snake at a pet store and they cant sell it that way. Just missing some scales will get them back in a few sheds.

It may take more than a few sheds depending on the damage, and there may always be scars. Just something to keep in mind of you were thinking of rehabbing and rehoming. A snake with visible scarring or other defects will not command the same price as an unflawed example (obviously).

If they don't, they don't. The speckles that I've seen on car-mot bellies do not "disqualify" them from being considered clear-bellied. They are not belly checkers.

Homozygous bloodreds have clear bellies (no checkers), but usually they have some "bleed-in" of color from the sides, and occasionally speckles. Het bloodreds' bellies don't necessarily look any different from normals' bellies. They may be fully checkered, incompletely checkered, or nearly absent of checkers. Some (including me) don't believe that there is any "het marker" for bloodred on a corn's ventral surface.

Pure white bellies are also a trademark of motleys. It's part of the morph so that all that white belly indicates is that yes, that is indeed a motley patterned corn.
