Here are a couple of different phases of a "Creamsicle" cornsnake. Hope this is what you were looking for.

I don't know if it matters to you, but you should be aware that Creamsicles are not pure cornsnakes. They're hybrids.
 
A hybrid is a cross between two species. Creamsicles are produced by mating a cornsnake to an emory's ratsnake.
 
I don't believe that they do, actually. If you want a creamsicle, go for it. I just thought you would like to know what you're buying. :)
 
I don't know what prices are generally like over there but 59 pounds is a bit high for a creamsicle anyway. That's over $100. I'd stick to purebred corn snakes.
 
Well a corn snake technically is a rat snake. They just have a nicer name... so no, the care of creamsicles is no different than a pure corn snake.

I have a 5 month old creamsicle and I love her to pieces. :)
 
Ok...the care of a cornsnake and a rat snake are very similar, but.........

"Proposed is the removal of corn snakes from the genus Elaphe to the genus Pantherophis (Utiger et al., 2002). Pantherophis is an old name, originally proposed for North American rat snakes by Fitzinger in 1843. Since I agree that these races are sufficiently different enough to have separate genera, I will use the newly proposed Latin name of Pantherophis guttatus instead of the old name, Elaphe guttata guttata. An additional change is that the two taxa once recognized as subspecies of the corn snake (emoryi and slowinskii) are now recognized as full specie (Burbrink, 2002), making corns the only member of the species Pantherophis guttatus. At this time, the Latin name change of most North American rat snakes is so recent that many websites and documents still label them with the former genus Elaphe, which now applies to rat snake species from Europe and Asia."
Corn Snakes In Captivity by Don Soderberg, 2006, pages 2-3.

Hope this helps everyone on the rat vs corn thing. And by no means am I or anyone here at PJC Reptiles, saying that we know everything or that we are correct. Yet, we do share in the statement above.

We also used to have a Creamsicle, and she was a wonderful snake and we would get one again. (We do not and will not sell any creamsicle as a corn snake. They are Emoryi's rat snake.)

Thank you and good good luck in your search for that Creamsicle. There are a few good breeders here that do ship overseas.

PJ and Jay :wavey:

Actually that's a pretty standard price over here. Everything is a little bit dearer over this way, generally speaking. You'd be hard pushed to find a corn of any morph for less than £50, at least in this area in which I live. I have occasionally seen snakes for around £30, but the store was totally pushing them on as they were "aggressive and non-feeders." Incidentally, Connor was one of these "aggressive non-feeders" (hah! dustbin of the snake world) but I got him free they were so desperate to get rid of him.

And that depends on the snake and how you two get along together. Corns in general do become very docile, but nobody can say for sure. They're individuals.
