My snake is more patternless than yours.

So there I was at the local reptile show with a friend and before the show started I checked out the corns that other sellers had. And at one table, was this cute little patternless critter that had garnet eyes with an overlay of a blue-ish sheen to the iris. I looked at him and asked "Hypo lavender stripe?" and they said "Nope, blizzard!" ... "But he's got dark eyes." ... "No, see, the pupil is ruby so he's a blizzard." I didn't argue further, especially as they had a bog standard amel listed as a butter, but popped back to my table and told my friend what I'd found. She took a peek and agreed with my assessment so after my first snake sold, I went back and nabbed him. He's got a moderate kink halfway down, but it's hard to notice unless he's slithering over something. Doesn't bother him at all and he eats like a champ.

So here is Blizzard, a completely patternless striped critter that I suspect *must* be a hypo lavender.

Who else here has some completely or nearly completely patternless stripes? I want to see!

Wow! I've never seen a baby as endearing as that! I wish I had a patternless corn to show off (: The closest I have to patternless is a Snow Motley, lol XD

Thats a great find. My snow I posted below is pretty near patternless. The stripe has all but disappeared. Congratulations on your new acquisition.

Your snow is gorgeous! I have to admit, I'm really curious to see if Blizz is going to *gain* pattern as he matures and his color mutes down.

That will be neat to see. I love the changes they go through between 6 months and a year old.

Blizzard shed with me, and the peach of a hypo lavender has come blaring through. Naturally, though, it doesn't show up as well on camera as in person. He also has a peach stripe down most of his spine, so it'll be interesting to see how 'patternless' he actually remains. I have a feeling he might stripe up quite a bit!

However the stripe turns out he will be a magnificent adult!
