Just seen a ad on reptile keeper for someone selling Dwarf Corn snakes. Am I being dim or has anyone else heard or seen these before???

 

[cornmorphs]

yeah, you're being dim babe
intermontanas

 

[tazzyasb]

Ahhh Well why not just call them that I would have known then lol

 

[cornmorphs]

lol, someone trying to be clever and earning a bit more for then? they have been re classified anyway, not even sure if they come under corns now, dont think they do

 

[tazzyasb]

I will go and look on cornsnakes.com you can always find the answer on there

 

[cornmorphs]

yeah, true...
i'm pretty sure thats it though

 

[Ssthisto]

Aren't they Pantherophis emoryi intermontana?

In which case they'd be more correctly "Dwarf Great Plains Ratsnakes"

 

[mark67123]

I've got one - female, 7 years old and about 3 1/2 ft long, bit more stocky than a corn though.

I thought they were now classified as standard emoryi - the intermontanas just being seen as a (slightly) different colour phase rather than an actual subspecies? I may be wrong though!

 

[snakelover]

i'v never heard of a dwarf corn:?

 

[bjherp]

I Have heard of the Dwarf corn before, there are a few breeders that have them in their breeding groups.

Not something that has ever taken my interest though, i think there about the right size without being dwarfed.

I could understand the point of a dwarf Retic, but corn, why?

 

[snakelover]

how big do dwarf corns grow en??:?

 

[mark67123]

i think there about the right size without being dwarfed.

Assuming we're talking about intermontana corns - from what I've read/heard they are a naturally occurring smaller species/subspecies, usually only reaching around 4ft or so.

Or is there a dwarf P.G.Guttata as well?
