i got this guy almost 2 weeks ago i brought him 4 weeks ago but kept him at the pet shop while i paid off my viv and i went up to handle him everyday so i am confident with him when i got him home , no one seems to know what morph he is apparently down his family line there was half corn half rat i am pretty sure his markings are motley i would really like to know what morph he is
( i took the photos on my phone so not the best quality )

I'm thinking wild type! Or normal as they're called. Quite dark in colour though so i'm not too sure! Very pretty however :) Congrats on the purchase :)

i love him to bits he has acutually lightened up round the dark blotches and gone a light tanned colour with dark patches i measured his shed skin and it was 4ft8 so he is a good size he still hasnt eaten tho how long after shedding do they tend to eat ?? and is it best to keep a record of when they shed and eat so u can look back if you need to ?

he's lovely, with the records its a good idea to have a record of them - just so you can check to see when he last shed and fed, dont forget that generally a shed stretches by about 10% so you need to subtract that off the shed length to get a slightly more accurate idea of his length does he have chequers or markings on his underside at all?

how do u tell if he is a het ??? someone said to me its to do with the markings on his head but i aint sure if thats right , he is sooo lovely he doesnt mind being handled while in shed cause i had him out my mate held him for a bit we put him back and the next day he had shed he has a 3ft by 1.5ft deep and 1.5ft high viv it came as a kit but the heat mat was no where near powerful enough to heat it up so i brought a bigger one and that still wasnt enough ( my flat aint that warm lol ) so i got a light which keeps it at the perfect temp and when i turn the light off at night the heat mat keeps the temp up , he still hasnt taken food tho :( any tips ????? i am quite glad he is caramel the shop thought he was part rat snake x

u think ? i just wanted to know what he is after been told that they didnt know what morph he is and about havin rat snake in him tbh i didnt even know you could breed rat and corns togther i have been offering him mice i know he hasnt eaten in the 2 weeks that i have had him and maybe at least 2 weeks before i got him cause i went up everyday to handle him and there wasnt a day a couldnt handle him due to being fed i am hoping that cause he shed on 9/9/10 at the shop and again on 5/10/10 at my house , that will be the reason he is not feeding his shed since he has been home with me was alot better than the one he had at the shop , i have tried everything ( i think ) when i wiggling it right infront of him he tastes it and turns away :( i will feel much better about him being settled in properly once he has eaten !

Regards breeding rat snakes and corn snakes, Corn snakes are Actually Red Rat Snakes and breed with other rat snakes fine.
So when people cross a Red Rat Snake with a Grey rat snake for example, you now have a hybrid, it is no longer a pure red rat snake or corn snake as they are commonly know .
please help identify my first corn snake !
