Hi, just a couple of questions.
Carolinas, Normals and Commons Are these morphs regarded as the same snake all from Carolina? I have seen snakes advertised as normals which look the same as a Carolina, then my local RC has them listed as Common Cornsake which have the same colouration.
Not a question about morphs but saves doing 2 seperate posts
Sex behaviour Has anyone noticed any behavioural differences between males and females. With all my other pets except my fish I have got females, not sure why I have chosen females, but at least I know where I stand IF I decide to breed them. I haven't seriously thought about breeding any of my pets but I do like to research all areas just in case.
Thanks |

its even been talked about to reclassify Pantherophis AND Lampropeltis into the Pituophis genus :O |

Correct me if im wrong guys 
i think it was changed back in 2004 because scientists found that the corn snake is more closely related to the genus Pantherophis than Elaphe. Many rat snakes in the genus Elaphe have been re named because they are all so different, some being from the new world and others from the old world. |

Thanks Hawk.
Another question, sorry. Since when did this species of snakes name change from Elaphe guttata guttata to Pantherophis guttatus. That had me confused for a while looking at different sites with different names. And does anyone know why it was changed?
I think I may actually get my snake ealier than expected, I'm really liking the colours on teh common corn, I like the deep red with a nice outline around the saddles. Then the red blending into orange then maybe white on the bottom. |

No they act the same! Only way to tell sex is to get them probed!
Just a small correction: not all wild types are Carolina. See here:
http://iansvivarium.com/cornmorphs.php
As you can see on that page, there is more than one wild type. However, Carolina and Normal are two names for the same morph.

Spot on Chimp- Carolinas can also be referred to a classics, but yes. they are all the same
No real difference between males and females, I have one of each and they both feed, handle, and act exactly the same. |
