I know she's a snow, but is that all?

This is Willow. I'm trying to figure out if she's just a plain snow, or something else. Her coloring is not something I've seen here or on Ian's. So, here she is.

I'm not sure when she was hatched. She is 47 cm long and 20 grams. Still just a baby.

I'm asking because her splotches seem to have a greenish tint to them, and they are outlined darker than others I've seen. Plus her head area is so much brighter than the rest of her body. She is beautiful, and such a sweet little thing.

Pardon the hands and the classroom setting background. I'm at work, and the only camera I have is my lovely cell phone. :eek:

S/he looks like a 'coral' snow right now, with that lovely coral pink color in the saddles. S/he should get even more colorful as the months go by.

No idea. She was part of the pet smart grant I wrote, and they just had her listed as a "fancy corn snake."

Hmm... Shes fancy all right :bird: to be honest im not too good in the morph regions... Unless the stronger colouring on her head is her darker adult colouring coming through?

Actually, i agree. Shes too colourful to be a normal snow :)

I so hope you are right! I love the look of coral snows. Fingers crossed that's what she actually is.

She is getting darker though. She shed last night and was more orangish than pink afterwards.
 
My initial thought was coral snow too. Her saddles have the right coloration. Could still be a be a pretty snow though. Regardless, great pet store find!
 
She does look like she's from a coral or even a bubblegum lline, Maybe not the best example, but the color looks to be there. Very pretty snow :)
 
Because this morph exhibits Sexual dimorphism, and she's so colorful, I'd almost be inclined to thing she may actually be a he.

Very pretty snake though! What a find.

Seeing as to what others have wrote i bet shes a coral snow, maybe even a bubblegum snow or a pink/green snow
 
Bubblegums tend to have pink ground color but fairly ordinary saddles. Corals have colorful saddles with a fairly ordinary ground color. Neons, champagnes, and Starburst have color in both areas.

All these different varieties of snow corns... :laugh:
 
Thanks for your replies, everyone! If anyone else has any ideas, I would love to hear them!

Willow is such a joy to have. I miss her while I'm at home, and when I'm at work, all I can think about is wanting to hold her again.

My students adore her, and I'm so glad I was able to find her!

It would be awesome if she turns out to be a coral snow. I wonder what kinds of babies she might make.
