DAY062513buf2  

Can you determine which of these three siblings is not a Buf mutant corn snake?   Parents are Extreme Okeetee x Buf.  The question is rhetorical since it’s easy to tell (in THIS image), but I posted this picture to demonstrate the relatively subtle distinction between common corns and Bufs.  In this picture, you see obviously more yellow in the Bufs, but others I have only show a slight color distinction from Common or Okeetee corns.  This is why some people offer snakes they say “might be Bufs“.
