Chocolate Cornsnake?

I thought it looked kind of like a caramel... but I'm pretty bad at identifying morphs... they probably just gave something a "Fancy" name
 
The hypo looks like a pretty normal hypo to me. And the other one is just a bit more brown, quite possibly with age it would look like a perfectly normal normal. Unless there are some crazy genetics going on or something, they don't look like anything special.
 
I emailed them and asked if this was a line bred corn retaining certain colouration or was it a combo of other morphs. Let's see what answer I get. The head on the regular chocolate reminds me of the Beasts (hybrids), but the hypo looks like a normal corn.
 
I saved the pictures and cleared them up a little cause I was thinking opposite on the hatchlings. :) It will be interesting to see what they say.

Definitely let us know if you hear back from them. I asked them about the same snakes last year and never got an answer back from them. :shrugs:
 
Off topic: Christen, nice job clearing up those pics! You kept the colors true to the original pictures, yet made them better.

Back on topic, kinda: Has anyone actually bought from BHB? Do we know who they are? They sound familiar, but I can't remember why.
 
BHB is probably one of the biggest snake breeders in the country, if not the world. They have a very good reputation as far as I can tell. Brian, who owns BHB (BHB are his initials I believe) is responsible for a good chunk of the ball python morphs and compound morphs we see on the American market today. They also have a very cool show called snakebytestv. Check it out on youtube.

Having said that, they are known to not be very responsive to lower end customers. I've been one of those, and I've sent a few emails to them inquiring about colubrids in the past, with no response. They may be too big for their own good sometimes.
 
Thank you. The brown one didn't clear up completely but sometimes there is nothing you can do about bad photography. Which it looks like all of their pictures are like that.

:idea: Thats why the name sounded familiar. I guess when you are dealing with the high dollar money customers why bother with the people, who wants to deal with the people that want the $20 and $50 snakes. I also noticed that they have a sunscream corn. Not sure what that it.

They probably don't ignore people on purpose, but I'm guessing they are slightly understaffed and have to prioritize. But that's no excuse not to offer the same level of service to someone looking to buy a corn as to someone out for a $25,000 ball python. That corn snake customer might one day want to buy a high end BP, and he might consider buying it from someone else on account of BHB's lack of equal service.

Also, BHB isn't interested in creating their own lines of corns. THey buy breeding size corns in bulk from other breeders, and then they sell the babies, which is probably why they sell ambiguous morphs like "chocolates" and "sunscreams," because that's what they bought the parents as.

Ah! I knew I recognized their site. They seem like ok people, but not someone I would go to for a corn.

I got a phantom female from them at daytona, which is to say that someone picked her out for me because i didnt attend the show. Had i been there, i would have passed on her. She had at least 2 retained sheds on her tail and she had regurge issues. Shes no longer with us.
