Sorry for misleading but just going by what I have read.
Its wrong! selective breeding is used to bring out or accentuate a specific trait, like high yellow snows, aztecs etc.
Anery is a simple recessive as Eeji says. |

there are various 'morphs' - yours is an Anery - The Anerythristic Corn Snake is a one were the snake has had all the red colour bred out through selective breeding. This results in a snake that is primarily black and white. Depending on the amount of yellow present these snakes may exhibit various shades of brown.
As you have only just got the snake it's advised that you leave them alone for a good few days to settle in so it gets used to its new surroundings and doesn't feel threatened.
This is incorrect, anery is caused by a single mutant gene that prevents red pigment (erythrin) from being produced and has nothing to do with selective breeding ;) |

If you have hides in and plenty of coverage in the rub (leaves, plants etc) then he might be ok. I have one corn who was fine like this and others that werent.
Corns arent particularly that active anyway (in comparison to some other species of snake) Out of my 4 I have one which is active during the day and night and the rest only at night time. (when Im asleep lol) |

okay thank you, im a member of another reptile group and they have said he should be in a smaller tub as he is in a 60l rub but i have put hides in ect for him to hide in but he isnt very active at all in there so far can any one clear this up for me ? |
