question for my missis

[chris87]

hi, just a question for my missis. she was interested in gettin what she thought was a lucsistic corn snake. i dont think tht there is a lucsistic corn snake i thought it was a rat snake. it has black eyes and is pure white. i know this isnt a question about garter snakes but just need to no if anyone knows as my missis is interested only if it is a corn as she has some corns already. thanx

Chris, without a much more detailed description or a photograph, there's just no way anyone can tell you what species the snake is.

that is the snake that my missis got told was a corn, but i think its a rat, any help. thanx

I'm no expert Chris, but I also think it's not a Corn Snake. Normally with Corns there is still some patterning visible. So yeah, I think you're right. Others may think differently?

[chris87]

ok thanx thought so ill c what other people say too james but thank you very much for your oppinion. thanx

I would be very hard pressed to say with certainty it isn't a corn snake. Corns are a member of the Rat Snake family.

I have never seen leucistic corn snake but have seen many a leucistic rat snakes, I pulled this thread off another site because it shows some leucistic rats with no bug eyes
