Her name is ember! When I breed her to the male i have planned for next year i fould produce some hypo granite pieds het amel! Then if i bred one of them back to her (which i believe is ok?) I could produce some hypo avalanche pieds so im really hoping she proves out to be het hypo alough im not sure how you would detect pied in a white snake lol

Thanks! I havent got the snake im paring her too yet though but I have paid for him im just waiting for him to be shipped now. Im also not sure on what to name him yet either?

Well just wait until you see him in real life and maybe you will be inspired. I think his name should coincide with hers somehow! What do you think?

Yea that would be a good idea. I could send pictures of him from the breeder if you like?

He is GEORGOUS! Holy cow! Here is the first pitch: FIREMAN

That could be a good one. Also with bloodreds they loose pattern with age and darken and also gain more red colours.

Names are fun. I like Fireman as a possible name. Heck, snakes are fun! Leakey is definitely headed for size records, lol.
@shadowspiderjack, when I was first getting into corns, I kept reading descriptions of healthy weight and not being confident I understood how to evaluate one myself. I’m not an artist (ask any of the students who were subjected to my illustrations on the board 
) but I made a sketch which might help you on figuring out when corn snake is a healthy weight.

From this she doesnt seem to be too bad then. At the top of the thread I did include a picture of her body and her tail does slowly go to her body without any hips which can be seen in obese corns

Your girl doesn’t look too bad in those pics. Fwiw, those hips are not necessarily present; most overweight corns lack hips. Also, there seems to be at least something of a hormonal cause; they virtually always occur on females who’ve been bred.

Haha, I don’t know about that. You’re too kind, @caron. But, well, I try and get the point over. I remember the students (validly) harassing me about my illustrations. We all laughed at them, and hopefully the kids learned something. Heck, maybe the drawings being a bit goofy even helped them stick in peoples’ minds.
