He looks azteky to me...he has the same side patterning as my aztec does, and the stripe looks to have some zig-zaggy-ness going on...so, I'd say he's a neat-o aztec...Also, did you check his belly for the little black squares? If his belly is just plain white along all the length, then you'll know that he's got motley genes working in him...

P.S. Aztec is just a "jagged" form of zigzag, and it's not related to motley.

AZTEC! thats the word i was thinking of! when i searched for "inca corn" i got crap..no wonder!duur

its aztec!
i THINK he has a checkered belly....
he DOES look a little aztecy....thank you!
.....ive also asked the ppl on cornsnake.....theyre all cornsnake boffins.....ha boffins! i havent used that word in ages! (boffins meaning know it alls btw)

awesome, those are beautiful types

That is one unusual looking corn! Congrats!!!

As for what morph it is, it will be very hard to name as it doesn't fit exactly into any specific category. It does have aztec markings but it also has an almost complete dorsal stripe which I have never seen like that. I don't know if the snake also carries genes for stripes but it is definitely very unique!

I would eventually breed him or her just to see what kind of offspring could be produced.

i have a normal corn who is probably about the same age. i suspect the one in the piccy is a male as his tail is alot longer than mine (the snakes that is!) that might mean that my cornsnake mitch is a girl....hehe but when mitch is bigger ill get him? sexed, and if i do get this one then i will probably breed them, that is if they are opposite sexes! otherwise id have gay snakes

could you tell me anything about the babies id get?/what i should breed it with?

At frist sight, I thought that that corn is a striped motley, however the normal pattern it has on the sides makes me think it is an Aztec. The only thing that I can say for sure is that it is one very nice corn! Congrats on your new addition

XxRachxX · 02-22-03, 12:42 PM

i have to say its not mine!!! yet.....(its at rehoming where im working) im adopting it if it comes up for adoption!! which it probably will do.....in about 2 or 3 weeks.........i think

josefg · 02-22-03, 12:50 PM

Oh sorry... I misinterpreted you original post...

Well I wish you luck and hope that it come up for adoption soon

eyespy · 02-22-03, 12:55 PM

Get your application in there, girl!!! Don't let that beauty slip away. The combination of stripe and zigzags is just stunning.

XxRachxX · 02-22-03, 12:58 PM
