What is an amelanistic cornsnake?

An amelanistic cornsnake is a color morph of the common corn snake that lacks the dark pigmentation typically found in their scales, resulting in a lighter appearance. This condition is caused by a genetic mutation that reduces or eliminates melanin production. As a result, amelanistic cornsnakes often display vibrant colors like orange, yellow, and white, making them popular among reptile enthusiasts and breeders. They retain the same body structure and behavioral traits as other corn snakes.
