Is it pure corn or hybrid?

there is a breeder not far from me.. he has a snow corn green blotched.. Which is absolutely gorgeous but I was wondering if it was a pure corn or if its a hybrid? I want pure cuz I know for sure corns are very docile and with my luck if I get a hybrid it wouldnt be so docile....

Green-blotched snow corns have been accused of having Intermontane (Emory) blood in them by some for at least 2 decades. It's never been really proven, either way. It's possible, but that's a big pill to swallow. If true, then all corns likely have some emoryi blood in them by now from the outcrosses done with those guys over the years.

In short, nobody can answer that first question without seeing the snake (if they could for SURE even with seeing it). To the second question, if it is a regular green-blotched snow corn, then it has the SAME chance of being mean or docile as any other regular cornsnake out there. Handle it properly, and it'll grow into a great pet!
