Maybe an unwelcome reply at this topic, but isn't that an Elaphe O. Quadrivittata? Or maybe a Rossaleni in shed but i think the first..

Nope. Obsoletas have the main head scale in between the eyes split in half, while corns do not. With an obsoleta that middle scale is split and flows just like those two scales being spit at the back of the head.
 
Interesting stuff. I'd bet the mexican night snake would make fertile hybrids with corns. They're listed as "Elaphe" anyway.
 
Mexican Night Snakes have eyes that look alot like that

Not really. Mexican Night Snakes still have round pupils, they are just more constricted than many rat snakes we are used to seeing. That cat-eyed vertical pupil is different looking...can't say it will grow on me, the round pupil is one of the reasons I like corns and am not as big a fan of boas, etc. The cat-eyed pupil just doesn't do much for me. :D (Except in cats, LOL)

I'm totally with you!! I love corns with their round pupil cause they look so friendly and sweet compare to snakes with cat-eyed pupil. :) Anyway.... a corn with pupils like that don't look anymore like a corn to me...
This one is special, he looks great in a way, but imagine we're able to bred it and it become a new gene. You will have a clutch of babies that half of them have normal pupils and the rest have cat-eyed pupil!?! it's strange....
(just my opinion)
 
very cool snake but i was looking around at mexican night snake and i realized that the outer part of the eye cornea i think is about the same color as you corn.mexican night snake im not jumping to the conclusion that is a hybrid which would suck, cause i luv the eyes, but they look alike some what a corn and mexican night snake. so you should ask the breeder some questions. i hope its a mutation lol :santa: :cheers:

Welcome to my world. That's how I feel about striped corns. ;) Well, actually, they're not just "strange" to me, I really dislike striped corns a lot.

But that's just more morphs for others to breed so they're not competing with my projects. :)
 
The mexican night snake looks like the love child of a cornsnake and a brazilian rainbow boa (look at the saddling!)...very pretty snake.
 
Any updates on this interesting individual? Is it going into any breeding trials this coming spring?
 
Hi

yeah shes getting ready to be cooled down. Theres a nice lavender male going to her next year, so theres a good prospect of some cool het lavender stripes. and who knows maybe het cat-eye aswell.

i hope.......lol
 
Wow!

If it is just simple rcessive then there's a 1/64 chance of cat-eyed lavander stripe offspring in the F2!!!!!

Put me down for a pair!! :cheers:
