Miscellaneous Corn Snake Discussions This is a "none of the above" forum. All posts should still be related to cornsnakes in one form or another, but some slight off topic posting is fine. |
Morph, type and gender theories?

She is indeed in shed, just about the worst time to attempt identification, but I believe you are correct that she is a normal, also called classic or wild-type.
To even hazard a guess at confirming her sex, we would need a photo of both the underside of the tail and from the side, both held as straight as possible.

Your little one is so young that their tails basically all look the same at this age. The tail method is easier with juveniles and adults.

That makes sense! It’s because their colors are obscured right? And thank you, I like the sound of ‘classic’
Oh I see. Okay that is good to know. Eventually I will have her looked at by a vet for a check up and they could probably tell me for sure but maybe if I can get her to cooperate for better pictures I will try asking again!
Thank you much

Oh okay! That makes a lot of sense as well. I tried to do a quick google search of at what age they are considered juveniles and not babies anymore, just out of curiosity at this point, and I couldn’t get a clear answer :c
Thank you for your reply, I guess I will just have to be patient!

I consider them juveniles at about 18 months old.

Don't assume the veterinarian will be able to sex your corn, unless you are lucky enough to have a reptile vet. My last vet was afraid of snakes, but would at least do fecal samples for me. The new vet that checks my dogs won't even see my snakes or do a fecal sample. I had to do a search before I found a reptile vet in my area.

Ah yes I understand. I don’t think the vet who sees my cats will likely take on my snake (which is silly to me but it’s there job so of course they should do it how they’re comfortable)
I will take your advice and make sure to seek a reptile vet! Thank you c:
