My corn Malibu

[Dboy275]

playing hide and seek.

Climbing in his tree.

Malibu pre-shed.

After his first shed with me.

hope u like him =]

He's gorgeous, but I'm not entirely certain he's a corn snake. Snows don't typically have white eyes.

 

[Dboy275]

Someone said if he doesnt have belly checkers or whatever they are called its an avalanche and not a snow and he looks like one from iansviv

 

[Shiari]

An avalanche is a diffused snow. Can we see some pictures of his belly? The white iris still is very odd.

 

[Dboy275]

I'l make a picture of his belly later cant handle him because he ate yesterday. His belly is the same as the ventral shot from here tho.

His eyes don't seem weird to me! I have seen several snows and avalanches with eyes like this. Very pretty boy you got there~!

 

[NickP961]

His body and head shape just don't scream pure corn to me. Maybe albino black rat or bubblegum rat or something. Pattern seems off too though.

 

[beautifullywild77]

I wouldn't say it looks like a bubblegum rat http://nakedlizards.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/product_full/IMG_4044WEB.jpg

I actually don't see anything that screams hybrid or that it is not a pure corn. I could be wrong, just my opinion.

The Lucy rat snakes have no pattern but has the eyes http://iansvivarium.com/morphs/species/elaphe_obsoleta_obsoleta/albino_leucistic/

But the link dboy linked of the avalanche has the same eyes.

Where did you buy him and what did you buy him as?

 

[Shiari]

It reminds me of the snow beast-corns (black rat, corn hybrid)

 

[Dboy275]

I bought him from a reptile dealer here in the Netherlands and the guy sold them as lavenders
Shiari could u explain what the difference is between a corn and ratsnake? Cause I'm a little confused about those we just call them rattenslang here in the Netherlands wich litteraly means ratsnake

 

[Shiari]

Corn snakes are a specific species of rat snake. They're one of the smaller ones. Black ratsnakes on the other hand are quite large, as are yellow ratsnakes. People often use ratsnake to describe any of the other species of rat snake that is not a corn snake.

 

[Nythain]

I've always been curious why the Corn gets it's own special distinction. There's a lot of Pantherophis species, almost all of which carry the Rat name, but call a corn a rat and ooooooh boy

Belly shots

 

[Shiari]

He has belly checkers. He's not an avalanche.

 

[juliegarner]

They are cute when they are peeking out from behind or inside something lol xx

 

[jessicashallperish]

he looks like an albino lucy rat snake. they are white with pink eyes

 

[Dboy275]

I guess its a corn/rat hybrid then?
If his eye was normal black/brown what would u have said it was?

 

[Mark Dwight]

If it were a amel lucy it would have no pattern at all. This snake has a pattern. It could be a snow beast (what I call a Yeti corn. )

But to me It looks a lot like a snow corn x Texas rat f2. Some people are crossing the lucy Texas rats with corns and calling them Pearl corns..or something like that. I think this is one of those offshoots.

Whatever he is, look at that face! He's so handsome!

only two of the pictures would load for me...a head shot and the belly so i didnt see the pattern. i do agree that it could be a pearl "corn"
