Hello there! I am happily observing the growth of Shenron, my young corn snake. I've been trying to look up his morph, as I got him from a pet store, but I must say that it seems kind of unique. Perhaps one of you guys could help me out? Shenron looks a bit like an Okeetee, but that pretty grey head of his is throwing me off.
What do you think?
Ok, so the belly pattern on a normal is black. You have a red belly pattern. The snake is probably a variety of hypo (hypo melanistic). The red color can also be an indicator of the snake being heterozygous for a couple different genes. The gaps between the belly checkers are common in masques. So, hypo masque is a reasonable guess but you'd need to breed with a couple snakes with known genetics to be sure.
Thank you both very much! That helps a lot. So I was right that Shenron was special! Yes, I too think that he's very pretty (wait, don't all owners say that about their snakes?)
Anyway, I'll try to post more pictures of him when he grows a little. Thanks!
