There are many variations of corn snake morphs, not only the snows. You need only look at some of the pictures posted on this forum or on Ian's vivarium to see the wide variation. I have produced many snows, and most were similar, but then I produced a few that were obviously different even though they were from the same clutch. I'll leave it up to the genetic experts to explain the reason, but I think a lot has to do with the recessive genes of the parents. Probably a good example would be the coral snows. Two years ago I hatched 3 snows from the same clutch, two were similar, and one had a light gray cast covering its whole body, including the underside. I should have kept that one just to see how it matured, but had to many corns already.
