Sorry for the delay, but I've been working some crazy hours lately!!! But finally replaced the broke camera. I am still trying to figure this new camera out. By this weekend I should have some better pics
Female corn 42" long, found on 22 Sept 04 in NC crossing the road during evening hours (Found two other adults about a half mile apart on same road within 30 minutes - a red one and a gray/red one)

The black borders on this animal are strong, like an okeetee. Found in the Cape Fear river basin away from most homes.

Funny how Mother Nature makes her own "morphs"!! Nice looking find!!!

Could you maybe get a picture on a white background so the balck doesn't overwhelm the coloration? I'd really like to see that animal a little better.

Thanks!

Thanks, I will post some better pics tomorrow or Saturday to include one with a white background.

Did you keep her or just take the photos and let her on her way? If you still have her, Is she yellow blotches on a gray background? In the photos it's hard to tell, looks kind of like copper colored blotches. My Mysty is brown blotches on a gray background with orange spots on her sides. I normally think of the gray backgrounds as being a "Miami" thing, interesting that the North Carolina Corns have the Gray backgrounds too. I think the gray backgrounds are very nice looking personally, course I'm a tad partial... If you still have her, could you get some photos in a different light so we could see her yellow coloring better?

I still have her, as a matter of fact, she just ate three F/t mice! I will take some more pics of her on Saturday (since she just ate). I also have two others that I found on the same road during the same drive within a one mile stretch (three in thirty minutes!). I will post the pics of all three on Saturday. One is gray and red and the other is almost all red - lots of orange and red blotches.

That's neat. I can't even imagine being able to just go get corn snakes like that. The largest snakes we have around my house are Eastern Milks which a lot of people mistake for Corns who don't know what an Eastern Milk is. I've never seen a wild adult Eastern Milk. Only ever found one baby about 10 years ago. That was the only wild Eastern Milk I've ever found. The 3 in my sig line were captive hatched from a wild mom who was injured an in for rehab and happened to lay eggs.

I can tell you where to find LOTS of eastern milks in upstate NY. I used to live near Watertown right next to Ft. Drum. There were a lot of Milk snakes there. I found one that was over four foot long once! The rest were usually around 3.5 foot or less. And in late summer I used to find lots of hatchlings every year.
