Honey (no aka)
Most Commonly Used Name: Honey
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Recessive
Morph Type: Mutation Compound (Caramel + Sunkissed)

Eye Color: Black pupil & body ground colored iris


Honey corns were named by the first to produce them; Charles Pritzel and Connie Hurley of CCCorns.com in Rural Wisconsin.   We’re proud to have co-operated in their Honey productions by loaning them the original breeders we created from pairing a Butter Motley to a Sunkissed.  Honey Corns are double homozygotes for the two recessive mutations, Caramel and Sunkissed. We believe you’ll agree that they have the most amazing shades of “honey” colors that are otherwise difficult to describe.  Suffice to say, no other corn snake has ever proudly exhibited such coloration.

What to expect:

Not unlike their cousin morphs in the Caramel family (Caramels and Ambers), hatchlings Honeys start out as slightly darker versions of their adult phenotype; mostly dark gold.  Most of them have the distinctive head markings from their Sunkissed ancestry, but occasionally one will have a more typically corn snake head pattern.  As adults, the edges of their markings tend to soften and their overall coloration demonstrate the accuracy of their namesake.


Important Note:
The advertising images on our web site are representations of the average adult example of each morph.  These images are not renderings of the actual animals being offered, (except for uniquely offered snakes found in the SURPLUS section of this web site).  We do not provide pictures of individual hatchling snakes for sale, nor do we recommend that you ever choose a new pet based on an image of its neonatal form.  Corns change so dramatically from hatchling to adult, they will NEVER have the same colors or contrasts throughout maturity. While most of the snakes we produce will mature to resemble the featured adult image(s) on our web site, unlike manufactured products that are respectively clones of each other, the nature of polygenic variation results in each animal being similar but not identical to others of its morph. The snake we select for you may not mature to be identical to the pictured examples, but will be chosen based on our experience of observing which neonates will mature to properly represent their respective morph.  We take this responsibility very seriously, and therefore publish the guarantee that we will exchange your SMR snake if it does not mature to be like our advertised examples.
