Default T+ Albino Cornsnake

Hello,

Bought the below snake from Crystal Palace before Christmas as a T+ Albino Corn. Does anyone know the parentage of these ??? as I don't believe it to be a true Corn, but most probably a Hybrid.



Above is an Albino Grey Ratsnake and a Normal Corn. The T+ has the same head scales, with the patterning starting at the back of the head, like the Grey ratsnake. Also Grey Ratsnake are thought to be the cause of the frosting that appears in the saddles of corn snakes when hybridised.

Does anyone else have any Ideas?

If it helps a true T+ Corn, I found out later should look like below. Not too disimilar to an Amel.

to be honest, if you got it from CRP then it probably is what they say.

I believe the thinking on the T+ is that it's connected to Ultra...........

I do think it is a T+ Snake, but it just that it doesn't resemble the known T+ Corn snake strain and has a solid Grey Head and frosted Saddles. It just makes me think it isn't a pure Corn snake.

I'm just trying to make sure for later down the line when I breed him, incase other people may question it's roots.

The pic comes from a US breeder, the european T+ appears to have a different gene to the US type as it has a different look......
There's a good discussion about it on a US site at the moment, i'll see if i can find you the link....

Personally i think that T+ isn't pure corn but then again, what is...... ;-]
