NEED ADVICE IDENTIFING MY SNAKES

beader Jul 17, 2008 05:15 PM

I have three corn snakes. I've looked around and think that theses are two anerys and a ghost. I'd like to know what other people are thinking. Am I right am I wrong, or are these two blood pythons and a parrot?

So to my untrained eye the two anery look very different the first pictured is a silvery grey back ground color with black, grey and white bands and marks she also has a typical checkered belly. The other anery (sorry she is in the blue) has two colors grey and darker grey bands no yellow at all on face or neck and her pattern is odd she has a pattern less belly and her saddles are solid they don't break up at the sides like my other corns. SO....... what do people think? Are both these snakes anery? And what would cause the pattern less belly? Or perhaps this is normal? Oh third snake pictured is my ghost.

the first one pictured i assume is the female anery, correct?? Anery females tend the have darker colors... So the first one is an Anery "A"

the one int he bottom pic i assume goes to the patternless belly!?!?! It looks like a banded Motley. (the saddles come all the way down the sides) Also called a milk snake phase, but thats a little confusing to some people and i call it banded.

I'm not 100% but breeding trials may be in order. But they do look ghost-like. Possibly Anery "B" Also known as Charcoal. To be 100% i'd do breeding trails... but others might hava a better idea. the one on the bottom... it is pretty blue... has blue eyes... could be a ghost...but take a pic after it sheds... someone will be able to tell you

You're absolutely right the first one pictured is a female. She laid 24 good eggs this spring lots of cute babies. All three are females all three laid eggs. They were all breed to a ghost.

The two bottom pictures in my previous post do go together (same snake) that banded female is really blue currently and I'll be posting new pictures when she sheds. Her eggs are still incubating as are the Ghost's eggs. I'm very courious to see the results of those breedings. These are the pictures of babies out of my Anery A female.

You have a ghost, an anery and what looks like a banded motley anery (which causes the blank belly and the saddles to spread all the way accross the sides)
