Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Help figuring out morph of corn snake or if it's even one.
I apologize ahead of time if this isn't the right thread to be posting in. It can be removed/moved as the mods see fit. Thank you all ahead of time.
I bought a corn snake (I think) about 6 years ago and it's always looked different in size compared to how any normal corn would grow. At least the ones I always saw and owned. I am either thinking it's just a basic corn morph that isn't growing anywhere close to what I'm used to with but wanted to get thoughts from experienced people.
When I first got it, the snake was small but not too much smaller in length than it's current size right now. It seems to be growing more girth wise (like a ball python would) but it's not a BP. The snake has always eaten once a week without issues and I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with under feeding or anything in that area. In fact, it's not uncommon for that little guy to eat 2 avg size mice if offered. It appears healthy, active as any snake should and the habitat is always clean which is the same for all my reptiles.
I did the best I could for now with pictures and will get better shots if needed. Only able to put up 4 so hope it's enough for the moment. The one I am referring to this whole time is the yellow colored one, the other is a snow corn. I kept the snow corn pictured to show size comparison because my snow corn is shy under 2 years old but growing and 3x bigger than the other. Is it normal for some corn snakes just not to grow much after 6 years or is it a possible mix (I used to have a jungle corn so I never know).
Thank you so much in advance for everyone reading and I value your thoughts greatly!
Best Regards,
Jay

Looks like a Butter Stripe to me. I produced a lot of them when I was doing this stuff.

looks like a butter stripe to me as well. maybe there is some emoryi rat snake in the mix back down the line? I think they are a little smaller than corn and crossing the two is done

Actually, I was the originator of the Butter/Caramel genetic strain, and there was no mixture of emoryi in there at all. No telling what might have happened after they left my hands, however.

Thank you all for your reply's! Is it normal/common for a Butter Stripe to grow like mine or could it happen with any corn snake? I've owned over 15 and never came across one like it ever but he's still a cute fellow... just nippy as heck.
Get's along with the snow corn great, this was just something I kept thinking about for awhile now & figured I'd ask. Thanks again!

I didn't mean because it was a butter it might have emoryi.

Hey Rich, any of the snakes(mutations) you released still seen on your property? Been very curious over the years it would be somewhat valuable info as most implications on the survival of morphs in the wild are just speculation.
