well,
You know my main intention was to stay off anyone's toes on that post...lol
So, have an excellent weekend!!

feeding every 10 days or so, until temps warm up, will not harm them in the least. It might just make them more willing to eat.
good luck

Thanks, Jimme, and even tho we're not Christians, we celebrate Christmas and understand it well. We have no problem wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year". We're in AZ celebrating and having a great time and going to a Christmas party in a couple of hours. Hope everyone has a joyous and prosperous new year....

It's a normal emoryi, silver phase. I put it up because I have so few corns, but lots of other guttatus

Merry Christmas....Terry

The gray or silver color phase of the Emory's Complex is less common than the normal brown or greenish phase and tends to come from the more westerly part of it's range. There are also some awesome light brown/tan snakes in this complex of Great Plains ratsnakes that are seldom seen in the hobby that come from the far southern part of the range mostly. The Great Plains rats are less understood and also underappreciated compared to the corn snakes. There's a lot of variability just in the normals depending on where they come from, and there's getting to be a number of morphs to go along. Someday, I doubt we'll know for sure how much of which subspecies is in the genes of a snake, and just recognize it by it's color, pattern, size, and shape, etc.

Here's a light brown, Southern Great Plains ratsnake, one of my favorites....
