Standard Striped Corn Snake

The background colouration and colour of the stripes differs from specimen to specimen. Usually, the snakes with this colour and pattern variation, present with a yellowish orange background colour with dark orange to brown stripes.

Motley Corn Snake The motley mutation is very attractive, with the dorsal saddles being joined,and there are no side markings, and no black checks on the snake's belly. Each individual snake has a different background colouration, as with the standard pattern.

The extent to which the saddles are joined along the length of the snake also varies from snake to snake.

Corn snakes with the "motley phase" patterning are also being bred in the different colour morphs like ghost,anerythristic and amelanistic (albino).

Motley Ghost Corn Snake This mutation is peculiar because the snake is partly albino and partly normal. Once again, there is a diverse variation in colour. Ghost corns have a silver-grey background colour with brownish-orange saddles, and have black eyes. The ghost corn is the product of a hypomelanistic corn mating with an anerythristic corn.

Snow Ghost Corn Snake These were bred from the J-line of ghost corn snakes, motley ghost x ghost, and only two eggs hatched, both initially looking like snow corns, but as they grew, they developed a pinky-red colouration in the saddles. This picture doesn't show the exact colouration, but it is an interesting looking snake - I haven't even seen these overseas, so best book if you want!

Stone Washed Corn Snake This strange variation was bred from a snow corn male and hypomelanistic female. The litter comprised of snow corns, silver corns, sunglow albino corns, candy cane corns, normal corns and then two were this strange mutation.

I had seen them on other sites, and when I saw them,I kept them back. These snakes show a light grey background colour and darker grey saddles and blotches with dark eyes. They are stunning as adults!!! The Snakes Alive !!! "stonewashed corn" is also called "silver ghost corn" by a few other knowledgable and reputable breeders.

Hypomelanistic Corn Hypomelanistic corn snakes have a reduced/absent black pigment in its colouration and so the snake presents with a pale background colour with darker brick red to brown saddles. These snakes make stunning specimens to look at in a collection.

Sunglow Corn Snake This colour morph is stunning to look at! This snake presents with a bright orange background colouration with red saddles along the back and blotches along the side of the snake. There is no white between the orange and red. This snake has a white belly and pink/red eyes.

Juveniles of this colour morph are a little different to your average amelanistic hatchling - the juveniles of this colour morph have bright orange to red saddles and the background colouration is pale with speckling of bright orange between the saddles.

Anerythristic / Silver Corn Snake The anerythristic blood line orignates from a wild caught specimen that was bred and cross bred with normal corn snakes. Anerythristic corns are divided into two types, namely Type A and Type B. Type A is the most common and is commonly referred to as a Silver Corn. Type B is commonly referred to as a Charcoal Corn. Type A anerythristic corns present with a light grey background colour with black saddles and blotches. Type A also develops a yellow colouration around the neck region. Type B presents with a light grey background colour with brown saddles and the yellow is absent around the neck region.

Anerythristic Motley Corn Snake Quite the stunner! This colour and pattern variation go well together. Something different for your collection.

Anerythristic/Silver Corn & "pink blotched" Snow Corn Snakes The snow colour morph is the albino version of the anerythristic colour morph. The snow morph presents with three colour phases, namely, pink blotched, yellow blotched and green blotched

Normal & "yellow blotched" Snow Corn Snakes The juveniles show the same colouration and patterning as the adults except for the green, pink or yellow blotches which develop as the snake matures.

Amelanistic & Snow Corn Snakes Amelanistic corn snakes in general present with a pale white to bright orange background colour with bright orange to red saddles with varying amounts of white in between. There are many different colour phases within the amelanistic variation, like reverse okeetee, sun-glow, fluorescent orange...

Striped Snow Corn Snake No, this is not a blizzard, it is a striped snow - the stripe can only be seen in juveniles. This is a stunning snake, solid white with a yellow belly and pink eyes.

Fluorescent Orange Corn Snake This colour morph presents with a bright orange background colour with bright red saddles with a white rim around the saddles. These specimens are very striking to the eye and a pleasure to look at.

Reverse Okeetee Corn Snake This colour morph is very attractive, presenting with a pale pinkish white bakground colour with bright red saddles with a thick white rim around the saddles and blotches.

Some specimens are more attractive than others. The white rim around the red saddle, seems to be thicker toward the tail in most specimens. The constrast between bright orange, white and red is very striking to the eye.
