Corn Snake Morphs

Images shall be appearing as I get hold of the snakes

Single Mutations

These morph mutations are the result of a single genetic abnormality which are produce a simple hetero/homozygous state in offspring.

Colour Morphs

  • Amelanistic ("Albino")

    Amelanism is a lack of all black pigment.
  • Hypomelanistic

    Hypomelanism is a reduction of black pigment.
  • Anerythristic 'A' (Black Albino)

    Anerythrism is a lack of all red pigment.
  • Anerythristic 'B' (Charcoal)
    Type 'B' Anerythrism also shows a distinct lack of yellow too.
  • Caramel

    It is believed that Caramel may be a form of Hypoerythrism (reduced red pigment)
  • Lavender
    A beautiful black & lavender coloured morph.

Pattern Morphs

  • Bloodred
  • ZigZag
  • Aztec
  • Motley/Striped

Combination Mutations

These morphs are the result of several of the above mentioned mutations.

  • Snow (Anerythristic 'A' x Amelanistic)
  • Blizzard (Anerythristic 'B' x Amelanistic)
  • Butter (Caramel x Amelanistic)
  • Amber (Caramel x Hypomelanistic)
  • Ghost (Anerythristic 'A' x Hypomelanistic)
  • Charcoal Ghost (Anerythristic 'B' x Hypomelanistic)
  • Pewter (Charcoal x Bloodred)
  • Hypomelanistic Bloodred
  • Amelanistic Bloodred
  • Sunglow (Amelanistic x Hypomelanistic)
  • Amel Lavender (Amelanistic x Lavender)
  • Hypo Lavender (Hypomelanistic x Lavender)
  • Hypo Snows (Anerythristic 'A' x Amelanistic x Hypomelanistic)

Selectively Bred Traits

These are the traits produced by either breeding specific bloodlines of animals or are regional variances from wild populations of corn snakes. These are inherited traits, that are not always guaranteed to be reproducable.

  • Okeetee
    Okeetee corns have a very bright orange background colour, with large very red blotches. The black borders around the blotches are very thick and well defined.
  • Miami Phase
    These have a silvery coloured background with wide blotches.
  • Milk Snake Phase
    Generally produced from selectively bred Miami phase corns to produce blotches that stretch completely from one side of the belly to the other.
  • Candycane
    Amelanistics which are selectively bred to remove all traces of yellow & orange from the snake, producing a specimen that is only red & white.
