Taking on this ‘corn’ atleast, that’s what we were told ‘she’ is but I don’t think she is… Said female but will check later.
Previous owner lost it, just found it after 3 years! Her cat gave birth and long and behold the corn came out.
So a friend went and collected today, but just messaged us as her other half doesn’t want it there, so we are taking on ‘for now’.
Wondering what Snake and morph?
I don’t believe that is a corn snake
Yeah I didn’t think so, I’m wondering rat snake?
This looks really close. Keep in mind they can be quite variable.
They are a kind of king snake
Also she does not appear to be a morph but locality. I hope this helps !
Oh god what are we taking on
Love him/her!
She is a beautiful baby! I believe that she is a Nuevo Leon Kingsnake.
@lumpy is correct, this isn’t a corn snake, but a variable kingsnake, Lampropeltis mexicana thayeri. Nuevo Leon kingsnake is another common name. For a care sheet go here: Nuevo Leon Kingsnake Care Sheet - Reptiles Magazine
Thank you for linking a care guide! They are pretty simple when it comes to care, and they can be great pets.
Thankyou!!
Apparently she’s very strikey we’ve been told. But being lost for 3 years I can see why!
Is the Nuevo Leon the same as the Theyeri Kingsnake?
Yes it’s another common name
Yup, Nuevo Leon king snake! Very pretty, one of my favourite kinds of king snake.
I read this as the cat giving birth to the snake, but I’m quite positive that can’t be what you meant.
Edit: whoops, just realised how old this was, sorry.
Hey, I’m glad you did pull it up! If only my cat would give birth to a pretty snake.
So, @ghoulishcresties, do you still have this beauty?
