"Here we have a couple different variations of color for the corn snake. We have what's commonly called a ghost corn in this hand. We have a candy cane corn snake and we have an okeetee corn snake. Now color differences aren't really that big of a deal. They're all the same type of animal. They're all just different color morphs they like to call them in the reptile industry. It's an indication of genetics. And what this is going to tell you is simply whether or not you find the animal attractive. Of course if you are into possibly breeding the corn snake this is going to be a little bit more important to you. Because obviously an animal that is a snow corn is going to be more likely to produce snow corns. Whereas an animal that is a candy cane is going to be more likely to produce them. Not a hundred percent guaranteed it will produce that type of animal but there is a certain percentage that will come out like that. So if you are going to be looking at breeding them in the future it's not a bad idea to look at your options now and see what different types of colors there are. Try to see as many different as you possibly can and find the right one for you that is going to strike your fancy. Because you are going to have this animal for quite a long time so make sure it's going to hold your interest and be attractive to you."
