new baby

Could be a 2nd gen pueblacorn (~25% maybe?), likely not half and half since the head pattern is still pretty strongly corn. You typically see a stronger influence from both sides in F1s.
 
Well it wouldn't surprise me, pet store snakes arent exacly known for their good/pure genetics lol either way she's super cute to me, I don't discriminate! She looks corn enough to me, but I dont have an eye for that stuff (yet). Should be interesting to see how she grows!

I found a nice large poo in her cage today, and since its been a week since I've had her, I took her for a short photo shoot outside to try and get some good photos for color and also a better look at headshape! Also cause shes cute.

All of her 7 gram glory! Hybrids dont have much different needs than pure corns right?

Beautiful pictures. She looks so much larger than 7 grams in them. Just stunning.

Care for her exactly as a corn snake. It's pretty established that whatever else may be there, she's mostly corn in any case.
 
my photos do tend to be size deceiving lol

I figured that would be the case :) she's such a sweetheart too, so curious! I am obsessed shes so pretty

My little explorer. She still hasnt shed. Lost 2 grams and then gained them back so she is still 7 grams. But is eating so I'm good with that! She is so cute.

Aww, she is absolutely gorgeous <3 It was very good o you to take her in so unexpectedly like that :)

And 7g! I got my boy when he was a yearling so while he was still small, I didn't go through the truly tiny period with him and whenever I see a very young corn snake I'm always amazed by how dinky they are... When I hold them I feel like they might break! I'll have to get used to it though - got a new baby coming in a few weeks.
 
Thanks giga! She is such a joy, the original owner is missing out! I seem to get most of my animals from others who didn't want them any longer.

Shes so tiny that teeny pinkies make big belly lumps!! My itsy bitsy baby lol

Im excited for you to get your small baby! They seem to stay small forever and then they hit a growth spurt. Still waiting for Lilith to hit one lol

I just found a regurge in her tank :( she had been eating so well, this pinky wasnt any bigger than normal, but I guess regurge protocol is in effect now

Yes, it is very important that you follow it. Are your temps good? That's the first thing I'd check. I'm so sorry about the regurge. Get well soon, little snakey!
 
she looked very fat in that picture. One of the causes of regurge is a meal too big.

The meal should be about 1 to 1-1/2 times the diameter of her body. By looking at that picture I'd say she ate something about 2 or 2-1/2 times her size.
 
I agree that lump in her does make it seem like her dinner was perhaps a bit too big. Also is it possible she's approaching a shed? I've heard of younger snakes occasionally throwing up if they eat just before they or after they have the 'blue' colouration. Possibly a combination of big meal and shedding?

Just a thought. Hope she gets well soon <3
 
I know it looks super big in the photo, but i cant find pinkies any smaller than that and she's kept those down in the past. Would cutting them in half do anything since they would still be the same diameter?

Reguardless she will be getting only heads for a bit.

With the shed I'm not sure. She has yet to shed with me but she doesnt seem to have faded at all. I checked my temps and the warm side is 84 degrees.

Yeah, cutting them in half makes them smaller. It's hard to describe but without the skin holding the insides they just thin out. I fed Clyde halves when I didn't have day olds so that's how I know. If whole, you can also roll them under your palm in order to make them thinner and longer. And one last strategy is to slit and also roll them to make them thinner play. The slitting will let the digestive juices in faster. Regurges can happen when the prey rots before it can be digested. The 84 is okay on the temp, but I'd kick it on up to 86 or so max.

I used to cut them frozen because I was only using one half a lot of the time. It's not too hard to cut a pinkie frozen, but a serrated knife helps. If you are cutting them thawed, you can use a knife or scissors. It doesn't matter in the end. Do what is easier for you.
 
Ok thank you. Hopefully this method will be easier on her gut moving forward. I did think they were a bit big but she had been keeping them down well until now so i thought maybe i was looking too hard at it but i guess not!
