hmwalatka Jan 23, 2008 08:46 AM

Hi all this is my first post and my first snake. My husband had snakes as a kid and wanted another cali king. I read up on them and decided on a corn.We went to a show up in PA and I found my baby. A brindle corn about 10-12 inches long. he got two cali kings and I hate their attitude. anyway if theres anyone who has any info not found on care sheets or general info about kings I'll take all the extra info. Thanks Hope

Are you sure it's not a brindle black rat snake?
I never heard of a brindle corn.
"Brindle" is used to describe black rats with black speckling.

What they said. No such thing as a brindle corn snake. I only know of a handful of people with brindle black rats, especially in PA. . . Did you buy it from an older gentleman with short white hair? He probably would have had a big freezer with him at the show.

Does it look like this?

If so, it's a brindle black ratsnake. How 'bout a pic of it?

Here's what a "brindle" Black Ratsnake typically looks like when it gets older. Like the others have already posted, I don't see how it could be a true "brindle" cornsnake, or else we would have heard of the morph already.
