Here is a recent pic of my normal motley female corn in her cage. She's right around three to three and a half feet long. When I first bought her, she barely wrapped around my hand once.

Here she is when I first brought her home (November of 2006):

I know this is probably a long shot, but do you think that she might be a hypo? The black around her spots is very thin and none exsistant on some spots.

And lastly, here is a picture of her house.

Thanks for looking!!

Nice. A long, long time ago I bought a albino black rat snake that did the same thing. He just coiled up around my hand like he knew I should be his owner. Unfortunately I had to get rid of the snake later due to Ohio Regulations, but that may have very well been my favorite snake that I've ever owned.

Here's a pic of my amel motley corn, just to stay on topic.

ONE OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE MOTLEY GENE IS TO REDUCE BLACK. YOUR SNAKE IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE HYPO.
HAVING SAID THAT, YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU BREED IT TO A HOMOZYGOUS HYPO "a" CORN.

I agree with Don,......it's a nice looking motley, but it doesn't look like a hypo to me either. And as he also stated, the motley gene tends to subdue the dark pigmentation typically seen in normally pigmented corns.

What kind of cage is that? Looks nice......

It's a Showcase cage. Can't remember the dimensions but I think it's in the range of 36x24x48 or something to that effect.
