I saw an ad in a local newspaper of someone selling two corns. The description was one albino with red eyes, now that was really descriptive. But the one I am curious about is one orange, black, and white. That just doesn't seem to fit with any of the morphs of corns that I know of.

I'd guess that the first snake is a sunglow and the second must be a normal. You should take a look at them and let us know what they are. Where are the snakes for sale? What city?

They are here in Calgary. They might be baies which would explain the orange, white, and black the colouring hasn't come in yet. I could call them and ask. Mom doesn't want anymore tho.

also the albino could be an amel or a snow corn as the later is somtimes called albino because of the lack of melanin or erythrin

Thats what I figured for the albino, the one that I'm curious about is the orange, white, and black. I've never heard of the combination of colours.

Oops, I thought you said that the albino was red, I didn't catch that it was just the eyes that were described. Yeah, please find out what they are, what sexes they are, and how much they are. Next weekend I'm driving through Calgary on my way to Red Deer and I'm stopping by the Calgary Reptile Show. I'm looking for an adult female snow (or any adult female) and if the albino turns out to be what I'm looking for, and you don't want it, I'd pick it up.
Please give me their contact information soon, if you don't want the snakes.
Edit: I just checked the Calgary Sun online and found the ad, I'm going to call the seller tomorrow and ask a few questions and if he still has them next weekend, I'll take a look at them and let you know what's up.

Cool. Yea let me know, mom doesn't want any more reptiles in the house until our geckos start breeding. It just really got my attention since they were advertised in the paper.

Yeah, this morning a few friends and I decided to go to Calgary to hit up Ikea, so while I'm in the city I'm gonna call up the seller and see if he'll let me look at his snakes. Hopefully he's got what I'm looking for.
I'll keep you informed.

It could just be an okeetee, those are orange and black with some white on the neck and belly

The Albino is a 3 year old male snow. The Orange, Black and White one is a 2 year old Miami Phase female. I was going to look at them when I was in Calgary today, but my girlfriend made me promise not to look and to wait until next weekend at the reptile show.
I forgot to ask how much he wanted and why he was selling them.

Where are you from? I'm interested in your snow. I'll call the guy from Calgary sometime later in the week.
EDIT: I just called the seller and his Snow (male) has yellow colour, not pink, and he's asking $275. For his Miami Phase (female) he'd like $250. Both snakes have allegedly been handled regularly and they are being sold because he is focusing his time on race cars now and doesn't have enough time to spend with his snakes. It sounds like they've been cared for pretty well. They are going to try to take some pictures tonight and send them to me later on. I'll post the pictures once I receive them.
