after scaning the net i am doubting that midnight is 100 percent corn. which doesnt bother in the slightest, but does anyone know of a sure fire way of telling if she is root beer?

p.s i probs just trying to make her something shes not.

she has a odd head shape aswel

aaargh- yr sig changes too quick for me to get a proper look!!
midnight is def an interesting colour combo, but carolinas are unbelievably variable, as we all kno....

what do you mean funny shaped head? Debbie's and and the Sex-Pest have both got heads like a flint arrow-head, where the jaw-bone sort of sticks out wider than their neck, then head tapers to the nose, if that helps atall??

and you thought there was no such thing as a stupid question....

Sid is defiantly a rootbeer, have not managed to get any decent pics yet as he is a riggly little one but there is a link to a vid of him if it helps.

As a serious point Georgina, can you slow down your sig or is it stuck at that speed? It makes it very difficult to see your lovely snakes lol!

there doesn't seem to be anything 'odd' about midnights head, looks normal to me :) Unfortunately theres no fool proof 100% way to tell the difference between pure corn and rootbeer especially as the percentage of emoryi reduces.
A 50/50 rootbeer would look more brownish than regular cornsnake red
