I saw this snake at a local pet store that was labled as "aneri" corn. I asked what type of "aneri" it was and the owner didnt know. Since it had no yellow at all and was almost 4 ft long I was thinking type B. The more I looked at it the more "rat snakish" it looked, the head was bigger than what I thought corn heads should be, the spear pattern on the head was broken at the point and the neck pattern that connects to the spear was divided into to short stripes. Also the iris's are brown (previous post said orange but looks more brown to me now).

Visual Morphs?....I love the normal looks. You can't improve on nature, you can only produce "interesting deviations".

Looks like a anery. Probably a corn X Great Plains rat.
Sometimes when I do a creamsicle to het breeding, I get some anerys and snows in the mix of offspring.

Since I help a friend at his shop, and we have a snake in this category I thought I'd post a side thought. We have a snake we incorrectly have posted as Anery right now. But there seems to be such a confusion on what it is. Emery, Anery, a hybrid. And these view are from people with a lot more rat/corn knowledge than me. We do tell people we are not sure, as we try to be responsilbe with what we sell. Just a part of what hybrids may play more in the future as we get more snakes that as so similar.

Just a thought.
