Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I walked in my regular store which is very good at caring for their animals. They recently acquired a few corns, two adults and one baby. The baby and one of the adults looked to be a ghost, but ya all would be the best to tell. The hatchling of course was the ghost colors with no other distinquishing marks but the adult has yellow on the side of his body all the way down to his tail. He's got no visible marks of live feeding behavior even though they've told me the man that's taken over feeding and care of the reptiles feeds live. The okeetee, it's in sad shape. The overall skin tone and all is great except it's dragging around a piece of retained shed that is on it's neck. Her face though has missing scales under her nose. She looks like she has a hole in her face right above her mouth. It's sad and she's skittish which I can only presume is because of it. Will this grow back? will she always have the hole in her face? Her skin is still really shiny and silky smooth. The ghost has really nice skin. The hatchling doesn't seem to have any problem either and his feeding schedule says he's eating once ever week. Anyway, I was considering purchasing the ghost but was curious about the okeetee and what her long term effects might be.

for all you cornsnake experts help please lol.

So the question is which to buy I'm sure
Honestly it is up to you. The "common sense" answer is to buy the healthiest one. Personally you should buy the one you like the best. You should handle each one, watch it's health closely over the period of the next few weeks, and ask to watch it feed....
