Blood Red Corn Snake For Sale

Overview

The Blood Red Corn Snake is a variation of the corn snake, which is a subspecies of the rat snake native to North America. Their bright crimson skin is the inspiration for their “Blood Red” moniker. The “Corn” part of their name comes from the fact that they are frequently found around grain and corn storage areas, where they feed on the mice and other rodents which frequent these areas in search of food. In modern times, the Blood Red Corn Snake has become a popular pet due to its mild temperament.

Read on for more information on the Blood Red Corn Snake, whether you’re in the market for one, already have one and want to know more, or are simply interested in learning more about snakes in general. Our discussion will range from dietary considerations and coloration to genetics and fascinating facts.

Habitat

It is recommended that you provide a tank with a minimum capacity of ten gallons for your adult Blood Red Corn Snake. Purchasing anything too tiny can limit its comfort and mobility. Make use of a bulb, an under-tank heating pad, or a heating wire to maintain a steady temperature in the tank between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

Aspen or cypress shavings are suitable for lining the bottom of your snake’s aquarium. The softness and absorbency of these are unparalleled. Don’t use fragrant or perfumed shavings. While newspaper and snake carpet can suffice in a hurry, they won’t hold up well to your snake’s digging habits. As sand is so little and readily swallowed, it may quickly enter other body passages and cause serious health issues, thus it should be avoided at all costs.

Blood Red Corn Snake For Sale Colors

Blood Red Corn Snakes, as the name implies, are a striking shade of red. Red may range from a very dark color to a very bright one.

Amelanistic, or amel, snakes make up a sizable portion of the Blood Red Corn Snake population. It only means that their skin lacks the dark pigments that give other people their color. As a result of this deficiency, they seem to be a brilliant shade of red.

Since they possess a recessive trait, Blood Red Corn Snakes don’t have checkered patterns on their ventral sides.

Blood Red Corn Snake For Sale Genetics

The Blood Red Corn Snake is an exotic variant of the common corn snake. This merely refers to the fact that the Blood Red Corn Snake boasts a unique genetic makeup that causes its characteristic red hue.

What sort of mashup of genes could that possibly be? Reportedly descended from a cross between corn snakes in Jacksonville and Gainesville, Florida, Blood Reds are a rare and beautiful subspecies. The morph’s uniform red hue is the result of selective, dispersed (pattern-free) breeding.

Blood Red Corn Snake Shedding

Snakes shed their skins frequently. This is true for all corn snakes, including the Blood Red kind. Your snake, in particular, will have to lose its skin at regular intervals as it matures.

Around one every several weeks, your Blood Red Corn Snake will lose its skin. As their skin sheds normally, it will come off in manageable chunks. If the skin of your Blood Red Corn Snake is flaking off in patches, you may need to raise the humidity in its habitat.

To promote healthy shedding, insert a small piece of moist moss or a similar substance. It’s important to remove the moss when they finish shedding to prevent the growth of germs and mold.

Blood Red Corn Snake Morphs

Although though Blood Red Corn Snakes are already a morph, further color and pattern variants can be produced by crossing other morphs. Some of the most sought-after variations of the Blood Red Corn Snake include:

• Snow Corn Snakes– These variants will often have a mottled pattern of paler yellow and white. They will also have some pink spots when they are first born, but these will fade as they mature.
• Blizzard Corn Snake for sale–the natural counterpart of snow, but with more oomph. This mutation tends to be quite white, yet it still has its original red eyes.
• Pewter Corn Snakes– The bright crimson of a Blood Red morph is muted by the morph’s silvery-lavender sheen.
• Butter Corn Snakes–The buttery golden undertones of this morph add a welcome touch of variety.
• Plasma Corn Snakes– This morph takes the blood red motif and adds a grayish-purple hue.
• Opal Corn Snakes– These morphs have a color scheme with blizzard morphs, but with rosy and lilac highlights.
• Granite Corn Snakes– This morph, as the name suggests, is predominantly gray with flashes of pink.
