Instead of the typical saddle markings, this Corn Snake features two narrow, unbroken lines running along the length of its back, often accompanied by subtle side striping or lateral pattern reduction. The ground color may vary from orange and red to gray or brown depending on other genetic influences, but the stripe pattern itself remains the defining feature. This linear design gives the snake a sleek, streamlined appearance that contrasts sharply with the blotched pattern of wild-type Corn Snakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1094\" data-end=\"1288\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1094\" data-end=\"1111\"\u003eDistribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e A selectively bred morph of the Corn Snake (\u003cem data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003eP. guttatus\u003c\/em\u003e), developed through the \u003cem data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1202\"\u003eStripe\u003c\/em\u003e recessive gene, which modifies the dorsal pattern into parallel longitudinal lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1564\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1302\"\u003eHabitat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild Corn Snakes inhabit a range of habitats across the southeastern United States, including forests, fields, and agricultural areas.
