I found a baby corn snake yesterday

Oh? Where?

in the back by my uncles shop.

Wild?

most likely

i dont know much about snakes. i was just wondering why they all have different colours and pattens when they come from the same mother?

:) Genetics! These guys have two recessive color mutations - one that knocks out black pigment, and one that knocks out white pigment. The mother is a snow corn so she is "homozygous" for both mutations. I bred her to two fathers who also had those mutations... so you get babies of each kind of mutation (normal, no red, no black, and no red or black)

Wikipedia has a good explanation of simple recessive genetics and punnett squares

There aren't any simple pattern mutations in this batch, though. Any pattern variance is from either the environment or more subtle genetics.

Awwww so cute

I just want to stick my hands in the baby pile and pick 'em up like they're a big clump of spaghetti.

A'wwwr, How Cute.
