Hi All,
I am new to the forum and very new to Corn Snakes. I had tortoises and currently 2 dogs and now a corn, unexpectedly.
I offered to get the snake found during a home inspection from the house since the buyer I represent wanted it removed or dead. Well after the inspector tried to get, it scooted up the interior of the wall, so a few days later my daughter and I went back and there it was in the original spot. So after some wrangling and waiting we were able to get it out and that is how we have our corn snake.
It was definitely someone's pet, his name is now Stanley and he is really quite calm.
Anyway, so far I have read some very good info here and will hopefully provide Stanley with a safe and comfortable home.
 
Here is what I have- the day we caught him and him in his new home, my daughter decided it was a he and on the name Stanley- hope she's right :)

No idea, I got him out of a vacant house that's for sale- owners horrified he was there, it was never their pet, so best guess is he found an opening and made himself at home.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas on what morph he maybe.
 
It's probably a normal or something, since its not captive bred. I'm so new to snakes that I don't have one, so don't trust my judgement btw. Nice bands it has. Good thing you adopted it. Nice vivarium, too.
 
any chance you can get a closer, better shot of Mr. Stanley there?

He looks like possibly an eastern milk snake
 
HerpsofNM, I was kinda thinking by the markings that it might not be a corn. I wouldn't know, it is just those bands don't really look corn snakish. I was waiting for someone to confirm my suspicions... :)

Still a very nice snake, though,
 
I was thinking the same thing as "The Cat", a clearer picture will show if its truly a corn or something else. Nice banding and a cool looking little one either way :)
 
Looks like Stanley had a lucky break!
Better photos would help with his ID, but in Leominster he's definately an escaped pet.
 
Welcome and congrats/bravo on saving Stanley :)
That is definitely not a native to leominster snake, someone lost him and he managed to survive well :)

Will try, I really would like to know what he is, especially if the care to make him healthy and happy might be different. Thanks for the support!
 
New Head Pics

Here are a couple more pictures, they are as good as I could get, looks like he is going to shed, so he has been cranky and hiding a lot.
