More snake babies?

First i'd like to thank all who replied to my post in the photo gallery, Halo my baby corn is definitely a "normal" as you all said.

Second, i know this is a corn forum, but i was just curious to see if any of you have other snakes besides corns? If not would you ever want anything other than a corn. I would love to have a black-eyed Leucistic ball python. They are absolutely beautiful.

I was looking for photos via google of a pure white (leucistic) corn snake. The only one i found that has no other markings is the Leucistic Texas Rat. Do any of you know of any other morph that is pure white?
 
I also own a drawfed boa. as long as the snake stays under 5 feet i might one day own it but for now it is just my corns and boa. I have been thinking about a ball but i have a small freezer and a roommate who hates haveing mice in there. :sobstory:
 
We have 5 red-tail boas. :) We're buying at least one baby later this year and our almost 20 lb girl is possibly gravid so we might wind up w/ babies/slugs of our own later.

I'm more into corns than boas, but my husband loves the boas. We tried ball pythons once and will never keep them again. We also won't do burm pythons or anything that gets to be that huge. We might wind up buying a king snake named Smiley, but only because he's been for sale forever and we're suckers like that.
 
I have a wide assortment of kingsnakes, a gopher snake, and a rubber boa, currently. I have had ball pythons, boas, Vietnamese Blue Beauties, longnose and other snakes. I recently sold off and/or gave away a good number of snakes due to needing room. I think you'll find that a majority of people here keep other herps as well. It's part of the addiction.

A "Whiteout" corn is pretty much as close to leucism as you can get in cornsnakes currently, I believe. It combines Amel, Charcoal, and Diffusion. But it won't have the blue or black eyes because it is amelanistic...
 
besides my 11 corns i have.....

2 ball pythons(both normals), 2 boas(a dumeril's and an argentine), 4 kings (albino CA , MBK, prairie, san luis potosi), 1 trans-peco rat snake, 1 western hognose, 1 great basin gopher snake, 1 irian jaya carpet python, 1 macklot's python(whos meaner then a red hot poker), 1 nelson's milk snake
 
I just have a spotted python, can't say I actually wanted it as it was dumped on me XD
But I love him, he has so much more attitued than my corns. His eyes are wild and crazy, his policy on eating is optimistic "If I bite it, maybe it'll be food". He is gorgeous.

Bilzzards are as close as you can get, blood blizzards if you want no trace of a pattern. Their eyes are red though, not blue.
 
I tried Royal Pythons - never again. Their picky feeding scared me to death and the male grew up to be a biter. Having an adult Royal hanging onto your hand and refusing to let go, is a bit of a different experience to being tagged by a Corn. They went back to the shop at a knock-down price after a couple of years.

Tried Sinaloan Milksnakes, but I got my pair as adults from a breeder. They were pretty much unhandleable and just no pleasure to own as they freaked whenever I went near them. I sold them on to another breeder in the end.

I currently own one non-Corn, my Huachuca Mountain Kingsnake. He's an absolute sweetie - nobody ever told him he was supposed to be highly-strung and nervy! He loves coming out, is very relaxed about being handled and has never refused a feed in his life. Plus at three feet long he's fully grown, so is very managable.
