Lavender Corn

[ZooHerps]

I am posting in this forum because I have not done much with Corn Snake Morph's in the past. I just bought a Lavender Corn, would anyone out there call this a Hypo Lavender Corn? Please let me know what you think any feedback good bad or indifferent

What would market price for this snake be?

It could be a Hypo Lavender, but there really is no way to tell just by looking. I've had both very light regular Lavenders and very dark Hypo Lavenders. Not to mention that hypo in itself is a quirky gene to work with, even if you know which form of Hypo you have. And in my experience, male Hypo Lavenders very often were much brighter than the female Hypo Lavenders, just to make matters even more interesting.

But in any event, it is best to call it what you KNOW it is, rather than what you SUSPECT it is.

Ditto that advice, Rich!.......spot-on!

Some that I produced this past year left me very uncertain if they were variables of either form.

There are TONS of them floating around out there that people have no clue which type they actually are.
