question about blizzard corns

right i have heard conflicting thigns about this and just want to clear it up for my own piece of mind.


do blizzard corns have clear belly chequers? as the hatchling i have is completly bright white underneath and ive been told 2 things.

one was that the clear chequers develop with age

another was that they dont have chequers at all.



can anyone clear this up for me please?

As hatchlings you can't always see the checkers. Even some of the adult Blizzards aren't plain as day. They'll develope over time. If your blizzard truly doesn't have belly checkers then there is something else going on besides Amel and Charcoal.

it defo doesnt have any chequers in the slighest ive looked as closey as i can, its is defo pure white not even any discolouration in any shape or form. saddles are very faint but they look pretty normal defo not motley pattern.

Your blizzard is a hatchling and won't have any visible checker just yet,as I told you in the other forum.

Who told you they didn't have checkers at all?
Here is one a wee bit grown on showing no bellt pattern.

If your snake is motley/stripe or diffused it won't develop these checkers.

There is the possability that they do have checkers though. If you follow the link beow you'll find our Crystal as a hatchling. You can see her belly checkers well if you click on the thumbnail.

She ain't no snow!

I will echo what has been said... as youngens they can be pure white and with age they can develop some yellow.
