a stupid question

[Izzie]

Do Lavender corns have the red eyes like snows and albinos? I have seen some pictures but I can't really tell.I know this is an EXTREMELY stupid question, but I have really been wondering about it.

As far as I know they have black eyes. Take a look at this pic from <a href="http://www.cornsnake.net/">South Mountain Reptiles</a>.

Some lavenders will have ruby eyes (not RED like albinos, though... some ghosts get ruby eyes too) I think there's a pic of one in the Cornsnake Manual... (and, here's a link to someone else's pic of a ruby eyed lav http://cs.uccs.edu/~kthall/nbpeek.jpg )
Most lavs, however, have dark eyes. Take a look at the lavender motley page at Serpenco... the eyes are pretty clear on all the pics. I have some pics of my hatchling lavs taken by Rich before I got them, and you can see they have very brown colored eyes with black pupils at this age (can't post them right now, I'm not at home).

See, Izzie, not a stupid question at all! Even the snakes can't decide which color their eyes should be, so different strokes for different folks. ;)

well currently I have 8 lavenders and all of them have black/brown eyes.

I too have heard that some of them have ruby eyed but then they tend to grow back to black/brown when they mature into adult hood.

I know that a lot of the ruby eyed ghosts does....and I have heard that the lavenders does the same thing
