Corn!



I have no idea lol

[theapexgerman]

Imma going to say an rat snake just cause awhile ago I was looking online and saw an rat snake that look like that sorta

[exwizard]

That is a Bloodred Stripe Corn.

[theapexgerman]

I thought bloodreds are darker than that

[exwizard]

It could be a Fire Stripe but there are degrees of color in them.

[theapexgerman]

Maybe just so hard to tell

[exwizard]

I just asked Brian and he says its an Everglades Rat Snake.

[theapexgerman]

I think that was the rat I was looking up a month ago I belive but don't rember

[exwizard]

Its an Everglades Rat Snake (https://www.google.com/search?q=everglades+rat+snake&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&rlz=1I7GPEA_en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=OoF2T6-AGci_gQe75OGDDw&ved=0CDoQsAQ&biw=1384&bih=913)

I'm gonna let this one go a little more before I give the answer. It can be tricky!

[KORBIN5895]

I am pretty sure it is an Everglades rat snake.

[Shmoges]

The head resembles a corn more than a rat to me but it looks funny. Only rats I have experience with are trans pecos and Texas rats. I changed my answer I don't think its a corn...

[Snakefood]

That is a Bloodred Stripe Corn.

It's a boodred stripe if there is no checkering on the belly, it's an amel stripe if there is checkering on the belly

Oh yeah,Corn! Definately!!

[youngster]

If he found it in the wild it's not a bloodred, I agree with Kevin, it's an Everglades rat.

[alessia55]

I've seen these in the wild in my hometown... My vote is Everglades Rat :D

[bushsnake]

hmmm sure looks like an everglades rat but theres not enough yellow...ill say hypo striped corn... or it could be a hypo VP

[Snakefood]

If he found it in the wild it's not a bloodred, I agree with Kevin, it's an Everglades rat.

Unless it was released into the wild by some ***...... or escaped. wouldn't be the first time..... or the last!!

[Skits]

A very pretty snake! :p

I agree everglades rat snake.

[KORBIN5895]

I would also point out I didn't use Google or any search engine.

[knox]

When I first saw it, my first reaction was Everglades Rat. Right or wrong, that's what I think it is.

[mikelm]

Everglades I would say also

[kernel]

I think it's an everglades rat too, bloodred corns usually have some grey on their head or nose and are usually a deeper red.

[MoreliAddict]

Everglades rat snake

[UwabamiReptiles]

I think everglades rat snake as well.

[a153fish]

Seems like Trollbie, Snakefood, and Bushsnake got it right! Exwizard, you had it correct, then you changed your answer. It is indeed a Corn snake. It;'s a simple Bloodred that ended up more Orange than Red. It does look like it has stripes, though the breeder din't mention it being striped. For those of you who said Everglades, don't feel bad. I may have said the same thing had I not known what it was. This animal does indeed look soooo much like an Everglades rat it's amazing. However the head shape is slightly different than a Rat snake, and the scales are smoother than a Rat snake. I don't think I've seen another Bloodred look so Orange. I didn't really want an orange one for my projects, so I sold him off, after breeding him to a hypo female. Here he is as a baby. Thanks everyone for playing along!

Dang it :)

[youngster]

You trickster! :eek:

[bushsnake]

thats crazy!

[exwizard]

Yeah I shouldve listened to my own experience with Bloodred Stripes esp since I used to have one. Youre right this one is unusually orange and then Brian said it was an Everglades Rat so I looked it up on google and allowed that to change my mind. See what I get for doing that? ;)
