Differences between Milks and Corns?

[Ciddian]

Hellos... :)
I need some tips on how to tell a corn from a milk snake because i recently have come to own a sweet little snake and one friend swears it's an easter milk and the other a corn....

Eather or...iam quite happy to have it! ^_^

I've heard of a view ways...the eyes, the y shape one the head, the shape of the head...etc. but i wasn't sure if these tips were enough to go on.

So what ever you can offer would be great!
Thanks for your time!

Look at a few pictures in the corn snake form and the Milk/ king form and what ever your looks more like it is...

Post pic of the snake and we'll see if we can help.Here's an eastern milk from NY.

Ugh....bad camera, this probably doesn't help too much but here you go...

Lemme try that again....http:/www.geocities.com/ciddian/snake.html?1070253541703

hopefully that should work lol....again...sorry about the crap pics

[Tim_Cranwill]

Yup, those sure are crappy pics. :D lol

I can't really tell much from the two pics but the 1st pics doesn’t look like a corn to me. If your friend told you it's an eastern milk, why don't you believe him?

[Ciddian]

Thanks!!

Yea.....i was leaning towards Milk but i needed to know for sure. Why wasn't i sure??....Heh Heh :medopen: it's my first snake really and i wasn't too sure of myself lol.....

That's why i came here ^_^ LOL

Thanks again!

Looks like triangulum to me too. Here's another pic of one from NY.

I'll add my vote for it being a milk too. The head is indistinct like a milk.

It looks close to the colors of an eastern milk but the head looks like a corn.

Sure fire way to distinguish between rats and lampros. Look at the anal plate, if it's divided it's a rat snake(corn in this case), if it is not divided it is a Lampro(eastern milk).

Thought someone else would say this because it's even easier than pic identification lol. Come on guys!!!

Jeez Andy. Play the game.
