Am hoping to get my new corn snake in the next few weeks. I didnt realise just how many colour variations corn snakes can be. I like the bright vivid oranges and the deep reds abd blood reds.

What do you guys think, would you go for a bright vivid colour or a pale colour?


Dakota ~ Bloodred Corn ~ Amber & Chloe ~ Cats
Mind is changing on snakes I want now lol so am researching these to find out what would be best - Milk Snakes and Dwarf Boa possibly - Crawl Cay, Sonoran, Tarahumara or Vera Cruz and poss a Hoggie, African House and Rat snake. Also Trinket Snakes.

All my corns bar one are orange ones! Not because I prefer them, just because thats what I ended up with, plus 4 of them are future breeding projects.

If I do get another corn I would love a snow of some type.

definitely orange! I don't see the point of having a nice colourful snake like a corn then making grey ones! :D

I personally prefer the anery-based breeds (ie. the black, white and grey ones XD). I have... 3 anery-based morphs (anery, granite and hypo-pewter), 1 Carolina, the wild type, and also a Bloodred. I have always like red, black, white and grey, and I think my animal collection exhibits that nicely X3 Conan is just gorgeous in temperament, so I'm really not fussed about his colour!

I think, for a new comer to snakes, you should worry more on the temperament then the morph to begin with. When you go and look at snakes to buy, request to hold them, get a feel for the temper by handling and seeing them in their enclosure; visit them a few times, perhaps, before committing. First snake should always be a gentle introduction, then once you are brave enough in that you feel you can handle anything a snake can throw at you, get a snake like Widget that'll bite you at any opportunity, but, when an adult, will look stunning XDDDD

I've got a lovely bright Carolina Motley, so if I got another I would probably go for a Hypo Lavender or Pewter, Anery's are beautiful as well...oh forget it, I'd have all of them!

Well I started off with a carolina and the next was a pewter so they are total opposites.
I think tehbunneh has made a very good point though. I'd recommend having an open mind on the morph and handling a few to see which one feels right.
The plus point to all the morphs is if you can't make your mind up then you can always get another...then another.. and so on.

I think everyone has there favorites but when you really look closely at any of the different colours/morphs they are all stunning.
