Pics of a snow corn?

Magenta Sep 17, 2004 08:31 PM

Does anyone have a pic of a adult snow corn? Can you include the age as well?
Mine is about 1.5 years and shes really getting a lime green/yellow color coming out on her and Im not sure if snows have that color. I would take a pic but a certain store(can I say the name?) has had mine in for repairs for almost 2 months!!!

A lot of snows develope more colors as they mature.
Here are a couple of pictures of two of my snows. The first one doesn't have a lot of color but the second one has developed quite a bit of pink, yellow and green.

Mine looks a lot like Frosty. I wasnt sure if that was normal or not.
Beautiful snakes by the way, I want to get more!

That firt pic is the ideal look of what I want in a snow. All white, very little color on the saddles. Almost blizzard like. Very nice snow corn bro.

Steve et al-

Is there any way to tell in a baby snow what it is most liekly to look like as an adult?

My taste is the same as yours, white on white on white, what should I look for in a hatchling to maximize chances of raising an adult like that?

That's a good question. A good bet would be to buy from a breeder that produces the white on white type of corns that you and I like. Ask the breeder if their snow corns are the yellow, pink or white on white types. Another way would be to purchase an older Snow, or even an adult for that matter, so that you can see how much or how little yellow or pink pigment is starting to devleope on the snake. When they are first born as hatchlings, I don't think you can tell just by looking on how they will turn out, but I'm not sure on that. Some of the other posters on here might have better insight on that.
