Lavender Cornsnake

Silvery gray as adults, with a faint purpleish tinge, these lovely snakes have dark eyes that contrast with their suble light tones. Most of ours have a peach or apricot blush, especially as juveniles.

Hypo Lavender Male

 

 

The addition of hypo to lavender produces more distinct color. As a hatchling Calypso was a solid peachy apricot color, and still retains some of that as an adult.

Opal Cornsnake

 

An opal cornsnake is the amelanistic version of a lavender, and is well named. Our matriarch is Sweet Pea, and she is a gentle snake with iridescent tones of lilac, pink and apricot. It's hard to capture the delicate beauty in a photograph. She has retained her subtle colors in adulthood.
