Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hey Everyone!
I am new to this forum and just recently got a baby corn snake. Her (His?) name is Sugar and someone left her on the doorstep of a small pet shop here in Santa Monica. I was buying superworms for my leos and the guy working there told me I could take her if I wanted her. The funny thing is, I have been meaning to get a corn snake for a while now and really wanted a snow. ) She is a very sweet snake and is gentle and active. I have not tried feeding her yet because I read that you should leave them alone for a few days so that they can settle in. My question is, how will she look when she is all grown up? She is very pink right now with very little white. Does that eventually fade and get replaced by the white? If anyone has some pics of baby snows that I can compare Sugar to, that would be great. I will post a few as soon as she has had time to get used to her new home. Thanks!

Hard to tell how baby snows will turn out, especially one that was left at the door of a petshop, without seeing the adult breeders of that baby. They all look about the same as hatchlings, but as adults, they will develope different degrees of yellows, pinks, etc. on their saddles.
Check out Don's sight "South Mountain Reptiles" or Kathy's "Cornutopia". Their web sites have excellent pictures of adult snow corns, and show the color range of how snow corns can turn out.

To my knowledge, snow corns have a white/pearl white ground color. An amelanistic or white albino has a pinkish ground color with darker pink blotches. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Here's pic of my new baby.

Here's a pic of my early 03' snow corn "Kandy" who is roughly about 29-30" now (measurement taken last month and she's shed twice since). They never shed so often or so perfectly until I started them on 5 day old rat pups. This pic is when I got her several month ago (Oct. 27th to be exact)
