I'm new at this corn snake "stuff" and just had a few questions. When someone refers to a snake as het motley or a het ghost what does the het mean? And i also heard that you can feed the younger ones crickets is this true?
 
Het is a shortened version of heterozygous which means the snake carries the traits in question. Het for ghost means the snake carries the anery and hypo traits (ghost).

NO CRICKETS!
 
"not that there's anything wrong with that..."

For the sake of avoiding confusion, it's probably a good thing that the abbreviations aren't universal to all things corn related. I see all kinds of ads for het corns, but I have yet to hear anyone refer to theirs as a 'homo corn'. :shrugs:
