>>There is a picture that has now been in the Week In Review twice and I asked about it the first time. It is a black/grey and gold snake that looks like a corn and someone said it was a wild caught corn snake. Now if anyone has the book "Snakes of the Southeast" by Whit Gibbons and Mike Dorcas and turn to page 99 you will see a snake almost identical to that one. In the book they are saying that snake is an eastern milksnake. I am just wondering if anyone else has that book and sees that they look a like and that it isnt a wild caught corn its a wild caught eastern milk.

You are talking about Zee's Golden Corn.
That is in no way an Eastern Milk snake.
It is most definitely a corn snake.
If you put an eastern milk and a corn snake side by side, you would be able to see the differences.
Yes, it is a very unique corn, yes it brought up a lot of doubt, yes it was speculated to be this or that but it is indeed a corn and has been bred and we are anxious to see what crops up in its F2 babies.

Corn snakes and rat snakes..No one can have just one.
