If you had to choose just one corn snake...

I'm with the normal/okeetee group. If the very sad and disturbing day came where I could only have one, and not considering my snakes personalities or my affections for them, I would have to keep an okeetee, an Abbotts to be specific. I remember just loving a picture of a corn snake in a book when I was a kid, and it looked like the Abbotts. Its not necessarily that they are my favorite morph/look, but if I could only have one, I would want that one. I have a beautiful '05 SMR Abbotts girl, Jadwiga, who is a good represenative of the morph. (I have a boy who isn't, but is very handsome anyway, and a beautiful okeetee in his own right.) Jadwiga likes to stay on top of her hide most of the time, so I get to see her a lot, which I love.
 
I must say that the new Champagne I got this year is by far the most handsome snake I've ever seen. I would want to keep him, if he had the temperment of my Amel Mnementh. I have had Mnementh for 1-1/2 years, since he was a month old. Everytime I put my hand near his tub when he was a hatchling he would come out of his hide to slide up my arm and rest there. Now he is in a hexagonal 30 gallon tank. Still, he climbs up the branches to meet me when I come near the tank.

My choice would have to be between those two, though it would be difficult.
 
Personally if I had to have only one, I would keep an Amber. And it's all because of their personalities. Let's face it, if I am keeping only one, it's for a pet and I have NEVER had corns as a group act like them.
 
If I had to choose only one from of the corns I have now, it would be my amel female, Bruneaux. She was my first snake and I love her temperment.

If I had the chance to pick only one corn to have I would have to pick an Abbott's Okeetee. To me they are the epitome of a cornsnake.
 
I would go for an Abotts Okeetee .
This represents the "Normal" in its best form .
It forfills the best the colordiscription of a cornsnake ; orange underground with black bordered red saddles .
 
My choice is a sunkissed lavender bloodred.And I'm planning to make them on my own.(Well with a little help really ;) and a lot of patience)
 
Don's pied sided

If I had to choose one it would have to be a pied sided blood, hands down! The deep red and pearly white contrast is so catchy to the eye. But what is really exciting is the EXTREME diffusion on the sides. What an awesome color red it makes. I can't wait to see that extreme diffusion it makes in other morphs, and I can't wait for Don's book so I can see more of them! My lav blood pales in comparison to the pied sided blood.
