I recently bought a "BLACK" corn,but I can't seem to find any info on them.any help?Also,if your corn doesn't eat on his regular day,should you just wait a day or wait until his next scheduled feeding?Thanks.
 
As to the black corn pass i havn't seen one, but to the feeding if one of mine don't eat when "due" i leave it 3 days then try again, just remembe if the snake doesn't take it imediatly leave it with the food for upto an hour but no longer, as if it hasn't fed within an hour it isn't going to.

Can you send me a pic of the black corn if you have a pic? I would love to see a black corn if it's a black corn and not an anery.

I have to disagree with you here. I have several that will not eat in front of us. We leave the prey item in with them over night and 9 times out of 10 it's gone by morning.

Many call an Anery A a "Black Corn" or "Black Albino". The later seems to be a contradiction of terms but... :confused::shrugs:. It would be a lot better on all of us if one name was used but that would make things too easy.
 
To my knowledge, you got an Anery corn. There's no "black corn", unless you bought a black rat.

Here's a pic from Rich's website......

i agree Joejr14 that an anery is the only "black corn" that i know of, and most people i talk to call them anery or black albino so i know what they are talking about. As to the feeding thing i do agree with quigs, but mine usually take it within an hour, but it can take longer and yeah leave them alone with the food to eat in peace.

Eather an anery or a black rat snake Dayoh, without a pic nobody can say for sure but just guess unless if it looks similar to the one tht joejr14 posted, let us know.
 
That's what my female, storm looks like. She gobbles food within seconds. My normal corn, Ivan. He sometimes will take it right away. But twice I've had to put him in a tupperware container and put a towel over it. Both times I checked on him after 15 mins and it was gone.

Yes, dayoh looks like that , he has a bright green around his lower jaw and neck is this normal?
I try to add a pic, we will have to see if it worked.
 
In time you learn each of your snakes habbits.Snakes can change from time to time.Alot depends on the time of year.You just have to try different things until you find what works for each snake.
 
It will be a while before I can post any photo(too large to send/dark pics).For now,what charateristics can I look for to tell if it's an Anery A (or B,or maybe charcoal) ?

Well, there should be no red, obvously. There should be a checkered pattern on the underside of the snake. Your snake should be black/white, or gray/white. It just depends on the snake. There might also be faint specks of yellow around the face/neck area of the snake. A lot of Anery A's tend to develop this as they mature.

I've seen two pictures side by side of an Anery A, and Anery B (Charcoal) and there have been times it's been impossible to tell the difference. With the flucuations in color it's very hard to just look and tell. Heck, even some Anery B's develop the yellowing.

I'm sure you've got an Anery, where it be A or B, dont know. If it's a dark black, you can assume A. If it's a very light color, assume B, but honestly there's no way of knowing 100% until it's bred. BTW, just in case you're no clear on it, an Anery B is a Charcoal. Same thing, someone just decided that Charcoal sounded better than Anery B so that's the name. I'll post a pic of a Charcoal so you can judge.

Check photo gallery under "first time with digital".It probably won't help too much though.
