I got a cornsnake recently and was told she is a Bubblegum Cornsnake. I looked up that morph but to me she doesnt really look like that? In person she is a SUPER bright baby pink, my cameras dont capture just how pink she is sadly. Just wanting to get some help from a breeder or something to determine.
I was going to tag Caryl but she is already replying right now. That corn is a lovely shade of pink! I can’t wait to see what Caryl says!
What a pretty girl! Bubblegum is a selectively bred morph. It’s not a genetic term per se. I saw it listed more in the past, maybe 12 years ago, before the hobby figured out what caused some of the coloring. It took a lot of hard work by a lot of people to separately identify various hypo alleles, and red enhancers.
Genetically, your snake is definitely Snow (Amel, Anery) plus Motley. Motley may be homo or het Motley/het Stripe; can’t tell by looking if an animal is het or homo Motley. I would say your animal is also Red Factor (RF). A single copy of RF is sometimes called Coral, 2 copies may be called Salmon.
Btw, what’s her name?
We named her Starburst cuz of her pink and yellow coloring haha
Ah @caron , you’re so sweet. . Let’s also tag @solarserpents and @noodlehaus and @deanaii, all good corn-y people.
Starburst. Totally works!
we got her from a shop here in our city, im pretty sure she was surrendered but either way im happy we get to give her a good home
Would you say her morph is pretty common then? or does it just depend
Snow Motley is common. Red Factor Snow Motley is harder to find, but findable. Really nice, really saturated color like that, especially in a female? NOT common.
Yeah but let’s be honest Caryl, you are by far the “Corniest!” But in the very best way!!!
Haha, now that’s a compliment to any corn-fed Hoosier girl!
Thank you so very much for rescuing her! And a’hem, do you like Tofu???
Yer darn tootin girlfriend!!!
I agree with Caryl. Extremely nice example of a red factor snow motley. Wow!
I do! I do! I do like Tofu!
So do I! Fried in dark sesame oil! I wonder if @soybeanexpert will respond???
depends on how its cooked tbh, sorry i was cleaning
