| Lavender |
Previously called Mocha, the lavender morph is caused by
a simple recessive gene. As adults, they exhibit an odd grey
color of varying shades and may have a pinkish, peachish
or purplish cast. These cornsnakes must be seen to be truly
appreciated. Hatchlings and juveniles are often more
colorful. Lavenders may also have ruby colored eyes and
may even show some zigzag or aztec pattern. The
occasional brownish grey lavender is seen, hence the
original name of this morph. It is thought by some that
lavender may be a type of anerythrism. When lavender
and anerythrism A are both homozygous is an individual,
the lavender gene "over-rides" anerythrism to produce a
phenotypic lavender.
