Exactly I don't have anything to add on genus etc.
But being a corn owner (and as of today finding out I won a hybrid Jungle Corn)
I'm not so happy a camper.
Yes The snake was labled Jungle Corn but there was no mention of it being a mixed hybrid likely with king snakes.
I very much wanted to try housing my corns together.
Having lost one likely do to size in the two corns.
I tried a second time with this Jungle corn and a corn of about the same size.
Well I'm pretty sure now he was eaten.
I've owned a king snake know they eat other snakes. had I been informed of the so called hybrid bit I never would have put another snake in with this Jungle.
I mean she's beautiful don't get me wrong. But she was bought for my wife as a pet and we liked her looks. Like many corns having varied names Ididn't think anything of it at the time.
The cost and empotions of a vanished snake due to eating doesn't make me feel any better today.
Hybrids nice but even someone who has owned corns can easily fall into lack of info. Is it my fault yeah a little, but the breeder should have told me he doesn't know me from adam and unless I spend hours discussing snakes wiht them I should be looked upon as an uninformed buyer.
Hybrid all you want but make sure you tell the end buyer. Hell even if they know tell em again anyway.
