Ghost? or Hybrid?

I was sold this corn by a local reptile shop who dont know much apart from basic care needs.... but any way she was a nice snake and i collect for the color's so it doesnt matter what she is but if i want to breed her, i need to know, hope some can figure out this snake?

im new it this site, so i havent figured out the posting of pictures yet i think, so if there isnt a picture in the attachments, could some give me any advice on how to send pictures in here?

A better picture would help a lot, but....

Not a hybrid, and probably a ghost. A full body picture would help a lot. There seems to be a real lot of yellow on your snake, which isn't really something you see a whole lot---at least I havent.

If you want to test it out you could mate her with either an Anery or a Hypo. If you get non-normals then your guess, and mine, is correct. If you get normals, well then that's when the fun begins!

It does look like a ghost with a lot of yellow. Nice pickup.

Btw, your picture has a lot of yellow-tinge in it. I ran a quick fix and brightened the picture right up. Might want to try something like that in the future for your own benefit. Seems the flash always screws up the correct look.

About pictures, you can post like you did using the attachment feature, or you can link from another website, such as www.photobucket.com. Really good website, and it's free. That's personally what I use.
 
the first time i saw her, i knew i just had to have her so i did. yeah i know the picture isnt the best but thats all i got for the moment.... she does have pale blue grayish in colour.

i will get some better pictures by the end of the week.

Charlie, that is a sweet lookin snake. I've seen some that were similar, but with a little less intense yellow. I'm gonna say ghost also.


Hey Joe, do you use the free account at Pbucket or the premium?
I just signed up.
 
I think judging the snake by that picture is hard, but I see there are some points that could speak for Hybrid - wash out saddles (frost look) and the really intense yellow on the nose. I'm with gardenmum - another/bether picture please :)

I've got the free for now. I wont use nearly what they give for free space and bandwith anytime soon.
 
Right Charlie,

I want to know why your picture of the Ghost corn snake that you have is exactly the photograph of one of my own snakes.

Photo below



Are you saying that you have purchased a female that is LIKE this photograph (apprehended without my permission).

Or, are you saying that you have purchased this actual animal? In which case the animal is a male.
 
Gee, Charlie, looks like you have some serious explanations to make. Why would anyone take someone elses picture of a snake and try to pawn off a snake as their own?!? :shrugs: That really is beyond me.

I think you had better go back to "proper civility" classes and wait a bit before you join the "corn club."


Alex, nice shot of your snake you have there, by the way.
 
Thank you Dianne,

I suspect that it will be too much to expect an apology from Charlie, considering that he was well aware of 'taking' an unauthorized photograph from one of my websites.

Not to mention the Avatar.

Let's see what explanation comes forth, if any!

Alex.

No offense, but whats the big deal? He used your picture, got caught and looks like an idiot.

I dont see a need to 'harp' on the fact that he took your picture.

Hell, I'd be PROUD that someone was taking my pictures!!!
 
What do you mean, "what's the big deal?" To take someone elses picture, put it on an open forum and say it is their own snake and what do we think? You want to know what the big deal is? First of all, it is stealing, no matter how you want to look at it, it is stealing. It would be one thing if he used the picture as an example of what he was looking for or as an example of a question he wanted answered and stated that the picture was not his but an example of what he wanted to know. But to blantently put it on that it is his snake, use it as his avator, is pure stealing and lying. No two ways around it and you can't make it any other way. This person is 18 years old so therefor knows better. And it is a heck of a way to "debut" onto a forum.

Everyone makes mistakes and I could understand that, but this was not a "mistake" but an intentional, outright lie. Credibility with this person from now on in my eyes is zero.

They may or may not be "new" around here...
 
way to go Dianne

I am with you 100% Dianne.
I have had pictures and care sheets stolen and used as "their" own material and it really is a pain in the ---. I actually had someone accuse me of stealing photos because they saw my photos on another site and just knew the other site owned them.
Needless to say, they do not have them on their web site any longer.
Had the same thing happen with a care sheet on Red-Foot Tortoises. They didn't even try to reword it or anything just cut and pasted sections of mine into theirs.
Once again I was accused of stealing the information because the people who owned this web site had been breeding Red-Foot Tortoises longer then I had owned my Red-Foot. But it was my work, they just knew it was good informatioon and tried to pass it off as their own.
They no longer have any of that care sheet on their site, either.
If a person asks for permission and gives credit for the source that is one thing but to blatantly steal it and pass it off as their own. WRONG WRONG WRONG....lol

Granted Chuck, I agree the person "may" be new. But new or not, it is not something you do "by accident" when you do this. Like I said, if the person took a photo from someones site and used it "as an example" and the owner was not happy, then it would be a mistake in which the person did not realize they were making a faux pas. But when you take a picture of a snake (or anything) and put it up saing it is yours, you do this in full knowledge that you are lieing.

Granted this person did not realize that the corn world is big and a lot of people come here and he probably didn't think that the owner would know.

I just don't think it is right for someone to say...."what's the big deal"....about making it known that the person lied and making the person know it was not acceptable. I am sure this person has learned not to do that again, but they certainly shouldn't be told...."well, that's ok if you want to do that."

Of course, this is only my opinion.
 
Well Joejr14 I do not agree that I am 'harping' on over this affront.

You appear to be missing the point. Whilst I admire many of the photographs that are posted on this forum, I have the courtesy to first request permission should I require to use them for educational purposes.

It would have been a lesser indiscretion should Charlie have posted the photo & suggested that his corn snake was similar, however, that is not the case particularly as he has adopted the photo as his own.

I agree with Jimmy that there is a great deal of piracy of web sites & confusion abounds as to the 'original' owner.

I do not wish to resort to overprinting all of my photographs, however, this appears to be the only option to prevent theft.

Dianne & Chuck, I too noticed that Charlie has changed his identity within a short period of time...............is his presence here to make mischief?

Heh, I was pointing out that the person is probably not as new around here as people were assuming. ;)

You're preaching to the choir here. The first time someone stole copyrighted material from me and passed it off as their own was 8 years ago. IMO at the very least such behavior is extremely rude, and is completely unacceptable regardless of "circumstances." (Read: lame excuses as to why one acts as if they do not live in a civilized society.)

I'd be PROUD that someone was taking my pictures!!!

Joe, should the occasion ever arise where someone is stealing your hard work, we'll be sure to quote you on that. :p
 
wow. I just don't get it. I'm shaking my head in disbelief.

I think Charlie struck a harder chord in you Dianne than he did with Alexandria lol I don't blame you though. It can probably be assured that Charlie won't be back anytime soon. Sheer embarrasment will probably keep him away for a while.

On another note, thats a georgeous snake Alexandria :)
 
Thank you for the compliment Catherine (on the snake of course).

As for our friend Charlie, he has had the decency to contact me directly & apologize.

All of your support is much appreciated as I visit this Forum to enjoy a hobby & 'chill out' if that is still an American term.

I, certainly, do not expect to challenge & least of all cause embarrassment to anyone.

Let's just say that the audacity of the incident got the better of me!
