After many generations of breeding, the domesticated Cornsnake can be found in a wide variety of different color and pattern mutations. New variations become available every year as breeders refine the genetics with each pairing. Our goal is to build a guide that illustrates the variety between cornsnakes of every mutation.WOWOWW. Okay, so it’s mostly focused on cornsnakes but a lot of the terms are universal (amelanistic, anery, hypo, etc.). This site really helped me understand morphs a bit more! Except I still am having trouble identifying my roomie’s Glinda. She’s just so light it’s hard to tell.
By far the most comprehensive guide for cornsnake morphs is iansvivarium - they have multiple pictures showing juvenile colouration, adult colouration, close ups of the belly and eyes and include an explanation as to what genes are involved in each morph.
PS. there’s no such thing as a domesticated cornsnake yet ;)

Welcome to the first post for Morph Mondays!
This is where I will briefly explain different corn snake morphs and the genetics behind it.
Today, I will be talking about Candy Canes! Candy Canes are a selectively bred Amel. Selective breeding is done to get their typical high-whites and bright reds/oranges. Amelanism is a recessive trait (like most traits in corn snakes), which is the complete lack of melanin. Melanin is the pigment which creates blacks and browns.
