Hello everybody Smile

Anyone have any idea of what sort of money I am looking at spending on a dwarf corn Elaphe guttata intermontana? I had them once before but I was given them, and I would really like to get hold of a few again.
Cheers

Sorry in advance for this stupid question. What is a dwarf corn? I've never heard of those before. Pics anyone?

The dwarf corn or intermountain corn is not really a 'cornsnake' as such. It is a locale variant of Pantherophis emoryi, Great plains ratsnake and since P. emoryi is a sub-species of the cornsnake, it slips into that group.

Found in Colarado and Utah, this locale should grow no more than 1m in length, hence 'dwarf'.

Found this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Elaphe guttata intermontana

A snake derived from an isolated population to be found in a mountain valley, this sub-species has only been in captivity for about three generations. The colour is a little different to the normal corn snake, being grey/brown and the body is stockier. The hatchlings are very vigorous, easy to feed and active. They seem to attain adult size at about one metre, hence the name Dwarf Corn. A down side is the small clutch sizes, anything over four eggs being unusual.
