    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

OK corn snake people, I have never worked with corns before and have NO idea what the different morphs look like. I just picked up a female locally but have no idea what she is. As far as I know she has to be albino because of the eyes, but I'm hoping someone with more experience can lend me a hand. I tried looking up pictures but I think she must be something mixed with albino; what that is, is what I'm trying to figure out.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I just did a search and it definitely looks amelanistic to me. I thought only albinos had the red eyes but you learn something new every day :p. Thanks!
 
There are different types of albinos for corns amelanistic, what you have no black, anery no red orange pigment etc, and snows blizzards varieties , the white, pink ones. If you want more accurate information pm me and I will send you technical details. This is my low Brown's summary.
 
Every time I get a new species I have to spend a week figuring out the morphs and whether they're recessive, codom, line-bred, etc. And of course there's no consistency from one type of snake to the next as far as morph names.
 
Corn snakes are not as bad as other species when it comes to inconsistent names.there is some variation but that usually comes from people trying to sell something old in a new way. Overall the corn snake community is pretty consistentl.

Click to expand...

You probably already figured it out since this is an old post but amelanistic is albino, same thing.
 
Yea I figured that out after I did a little searching. I was only used to ball pythons and no one ever calls them anything except albino so I figured they must be separate things. Had the same issue when I started looking at anery/axanthic hognoses.

Suppose if I just looked at the names it should have been obvious, but what can I say, I didn't care much for biology.
