Classic Corn Snakes                                                                                  Pantherophis guttata 



Corn snakes are probably the most popular snakes in the reptile keeping community. With many color morphs available there is surely one to please anybody. Corn snakes are considered by many keepers as beginner snakes. Their ease of care docile temperament and manageable size make them the perfect choice for the novice. However Corn snakes can also be a great choice for the advanced keeper. With over 100 possible morph combinations and more being created every, year the morph potential of these snakes seems almost endless. Corn snakes are sure to fit into anyones collection, from the more common $20 cornsnake to snakes with price tags over $1000. As my collection matures I hope to have more morph combinations available each year. You never know I might even have something new in the works.  I cannot list all of the morphs I will create from year to year. However I will list those that I should produce on a regular basis.

Amber Corn Snake                                                                            Pantherophis guttata

As the name implies these corn snakes are amber in color.  A combination of caramel and hypomelanistic "A"   While not as bright as the butter corn many people prefer the subtle golden color of the amber. 


Amelanistic Corn Snake  "red albino"                                       Pantherophis guttata

Amelanistic or Amel for short is often referred to as albino or red albino. This morph removes all melan or dark pigment. Amelanistic corn snakes is one of the first snake morphs to be identified and reproduced in captivity. Amelanistic is the foundation for many of the amazing morph combination found in corn snakes today.

We should also produce Amels with motley, stripe and diffused pattern.

Anerythristic Corn Snake  "Black Albino"                               Pantherophis guttata

Anerythristic "A" or Anery for short is also referred to as black albino. Corn snakes this trait are still often found in wild bloodlines. Along with amelanistic corn snakes this morph is key to many great morph combination.

We should also produce Amels with motley, stripe and diffused pattern.

Ghost Motley Corn Snake                                                              Pantherophis guttata

Faded in appearance Ghost motley corn snakes are one of my favorates. With a combination of anerythristic and hypomelanistic "A" topped off with the Motley pattern morph.  My line of ghost motleys often produces both beautiful pink pastels as well as what is referred to as hurricane motley pattern.

Striped Ghost Corn Snake                                                              Pantherophis guttata

Faded in appearance Ghost motley corn snakes are one of my favorates. With a combination of anerythristic and hypomelanistic "A" topped off with the Motley pattern morph.  My line of ghost motleys often produces both beautiful pink pastels as well as what is referred to as hurricane motley pattern.


Sunglow Motley Corn Snake                                                          Pantherophis guttata

These were the snakes that brought corn snakes to my attention. Beautiful bright red/orange snakes with the motley circles down their back. A combination of amel and motley. These snakes have been selectively bred to show none of the white patterning typically found in amelanistic corn snakes. I built my breeding stock by purchasing only the best sunglow motleys I could find. This will allow me to offer some of the best offspring available.


Sunkissed Corn Snake                                                                      Pantherophis guttata

Sunkissed is one of the interesting corn snake morphs that effects both color and pattern. Sunkissed is also classified as hypomelanistic "B" As with hypomelanistic "A" the sunkissed morph also reduces the amount of melan that shows through. This morph also effects a corn snake by rounding the pattern or blotches and giving them a unique head pattern
