Im gonna agree with Nanci and say anery, until i see a better pic of the eyes....i do like the dark borders on this little one!!!
 
..

The kid who i got her from mentioned something about ghost/ultramel? in the name when he purchsed her...her eyes are red. I thought her a light anery also..but because he mentioned ghost/ultramel... i was at a loss as to what she was..She was under fed and kept in a tote with no ventilation, covered in mites and sick looking. I got her 2 weeks ago and quarantied her..she is pounding 3 pinks a week and looking really nice already...a bit flighty but she will get over that soon enough. thanks for the comments and help.

Why 3 pinks? Do you feed 3 pinks at the same time or do you spread them over the week?
 
...

I spread out the feedings when the lump is no longer visible i feed her again...her eyes look reddish brown..leaning more towards brown
 
so...

I spoke to the person I got her from and he says she is an Ultramel Anery Cornsnake .. from what ive seen I think hes right..

Have you done your research??? That's not how a snake works. You should feed once a week and a good way to know how big of a prey item is this: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-50106.html
Read this book: Corn Snakes: The Comprehensive Owner's Guide from Kathy and Bill Love.
And again: Do your research!

What temps do you keep him on? What humidity? How do you measure these? Do you provide a hide on the warm and cool side? A water bowl big enough so he can fit completely in it? Some climbing and some leaves? How do you heat? How do you regulate your heat?

These are not dogs which don't care if you don't have all of the necessary equipment from the first day, these animals will die if not everything is how it should be.

@ Atmox..mind your buisness.. I have kept snakes for over 15 years. This snake was knocking on deaths door. If you knew about keeping snakes you would know that hatchlings (of certain species) can be fed 2 or 3 times a week. I have other hatchlings(corns) that are fed like you say once a week and they are tiny and are growing very slowly..maybe because the pinkys I feed them are tiny. In any case once she is healthy by MY standards she will go on to a regular regimen of 1 feeding a week.
 
lmao

u have one corn and 1 gecko and ur giving me advice lmfao... currently 2 children 2 dogs 1 cat, 2.4 brazilian rainbow boas, 2.4 corns, 1.1 eastern milk snakes, 1.1 Irian jayas, 1.1 cal. kings, 0.1 trinket rat snake, 1.0 western hognose, 1.0 eastern box turtle, 0.0.1 snapping turtle In the past 15 or so years I have bred veiled chameleons, ball pythons before morphs were out of control, burmese pythons and an exuberant amount of different turtles. My oldest snake died of old age after 27 years in captivity. I wouldnt say Im a proffesional breeder by any means but I KNOW WHAT IM DOING. I have forgotten things you havent even learned yet..so again I will tell you mind your neck:punch:
 
Odd, I fed my fastest growing snake AND slowest growing snake starting with 1 pinky every 5 to 6 days. Largest one was almost 100 grams at the end of the year, the smallest barely 30.

Hmn, guess that means it depends on the snake with regards to how fast they grow. Darn.
