Eye Color:  Dark pupil

Formerly considered an intergrade of what used to be two corn snake subspecies (Elaphe guttatus guttatus X Elaphe guttatus emoryi), Rootbeers are the final product of crossing an Emory’s Rat (aka: Great Plains Rat Snake) with a corn. Since the new taxonomic classification assigns distinct species to each (Pantherophis emoryi and Pantherophis guttatus), in herpetocultural vernacular, Rootbeers are now officially consideredhybrids.  ANY progeny from Rootbeers or any corn snake that has any degree of Emory’s Rat Snake in it, is considered a HYBRID. Rootbeer hybrids are the non-albino version of the Creamsicle.
