does yoour snake

Maybe he thinks your going to feed him that is why he comes over to the glass. But snakes don't have feelings, instinct but not feeling like humans.
And they tolerate us handling them. (stroking they heads)

Good Luck :cheers:
 
My snakes are accustomed to me, but none of them like me. Snakes are not capable of emotion. They just have instincts.

You can go here to check what diffrent colored corns look like, The creamsicle one is beautiful hope this help you out. :)
 
Yesh. Like the others said, hybrids are more than one species bred together.

Hm... I never knew that creamsicles were hybrids... Never even heard of jungle corns. Good thing I'm not a breeder. :)

Jungle corns are a hybrid, the result of breeding two different species, corn snake, Pantherophis (aka Elaphe) x king snake, Lampropeltis. Creamsicles are not a hybrid, but rather an intergrade, the result of breeding two subspecies of Pantherophis guttata: P. g. guttata x P. g. emoryi. Corn snakes and Great Plains rat snakes share the same genus and species. A mule (horse, Equus caballus x donkey, E. asinus) is a hybrid, a creamsicle is just a "mutt" (canine x canine).
 
Technically you are correct, but you could not (or rather, should not) sell a Creamsicle as a pure corn. In that regard, you may as well list it as a hybrid.The two species share some common genetics but their looks are different. The interbreeding of the two though makes it difficult to tell that it has been crossed.

Selling it as a hybrid misinforms yet another generation. It should be listed as what it is: an intergrade. Not a hybrid, not a corn snake, an intergrade rat snake.

I have a beautiful adult creamsicle male, and in two weeks I am receiving a mate for him, a rootbeer female. Creamsicle is the result of mating a Great Plains rat snake with an amelanistic corn snake. Rootbeer is the result of mating a Great Plains rat snake with a normal corn snake. I was lucky enough to find a rootbeer het creamsicle, so am very excited about their future mating. I would never sell an intergrade or a hybrid without informing the buyer as to the genetic profile of the snake, anymore than I would do so with a corn snake. I don't think we do a service to the buyer to misinform him or her about what they are buying, even if the misinformation is only the difference between a hybrid and an intergrade. As my previous post showed, you can explain the difference quite simply, using examples that make the concepts easy to grasp. Given the choice, I always opt for giving as much accurate information as possible, even if it takes a bit longer to explain. In the long run, the buyer will be more satisfied with their purchase, as well as better informed.
