Was just wondering even though they are still far too young to breed but I have Granite female and either a Normal, Carolina or Rootbeer male (can't really identify what he is yet lol may be easier when he's a lot older Hopefully anyway!) I don't know what they're parents were but was wondering what I'd get if they did breed accidentally, thanks :)

Carolina and normal are the same thing, he looks more rootbeer so that means hes a hybrid so the babies would not be true corns but hybrids.

They won'r breed by accident if you separate them!!!

Well what did you buy them as? If it was labelled as normal/carolina then it's not going to be anything else! You'd probably just end up with normals to be honest. Not really worth breeding them unless you what what they are both het for.

without knowing the hets from normal ad granite pair you would get normals het diffused anery

if your snake turns out to be a rootbeer and you breed it with your granite you would get a clutch of hybrids but i have no idea the hybrid morph names.

snakes don't accidentally breed they do it on purpose its what they do.

True but still, that rarely happens and the snake looks like a normal to me.

Plus why the hell would you want to breed accidently? The girl is way, way too young plus if you did get surprise eggs, you might not be fully prepare to care for the eggs nor the bad health issues that may occur to the female. Purposeful breeding can be stressful as it it!

It was labeled mega corn which is known as a corn/rat snake cross but I was only in debate as some people on here said he looked normal and some said he looked like a rootbeer that's why I'm not sure

Well unless you know someone who wants hybrids I really don't think breeding is worth it unless you want to keep the babies So many baby corns at the moment, even the popular snows and amels are now hard to find homes for. Sounds horrible but it's true.

if he was labelled 'mega corn' then you must treat him as such and therefore any babies would also need labelling as hybrid.

and tbh 1/4 rat 3/4 corn hatchies are unlikely to be particularly desireable..........however rootbeer x rootbeer hatchies you could at least sell as rootbeers.....
