Q: Is this possibly a Green-spotted Snow Cornsnake?
Posted By:

In Relation To:

Var

My roughly a year/going on a year old Cornsnake, Var, has been developing more and more green to her saddles. This green has seemingly gotten more prominent with age and with every shed. Does anyone else have a Green-spotted Snow they wouldn't mind sharing some pictures of for me to better compare with? I've only seen far and few photos of them, so I'm very curious. Below is a picture of Var. Could the possibility she is indeed a Green-spotted Snow be considered? Or is there something that can automatically rule this classification out? Anyone that can contribute to this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

By spotted it just means the saddles of the snow are green. You can see 2 pics, of a green spot snow on iansvivarium.com, if youre interested. It would'nt let me post pics from their site.

I would say so, I think my Larkspur is one also. :)

Considering "Green spotted snows" are simply a selectively bred variation on the basic snow, what is or isn't a green spot is highly debatable (just like how what is or isn't an Okeetee is quite frequently in debate, same with Sunglows and the like). I'm not sure I'd call him a green spotted, but then those colors have a habit of just not showing up in photos, so I could just be missing the "green" here. :P

understandable, floof. this picture captures the colors decently, because its not very dark right now, and may never be, who knows. i love her either way, and either way shes a beautiful snake in her own right. i'm mostly just curious about them. my question is more about anyone else having any to share pics etc with me, i suppose. thanks for everyones input.
