Do you get piebald corn snakes btw?
There aren't piebald corns as such... (ie, there are no corns like piebald ball pythons, that are born with colored patches and white patches that stay pretty much the same their whole lives).
There are calico corns that begin as normal looking cornsnakes and then lose color in patches as they get older... but most (or possibly all?) of the snakes also developed 'blistering' and scaring in the areas that turned white. I don't know if anyone is still working with them, and if there are any, they'd probably be very expensive.
There are also ruby-freckled snows, that develop speckles of red color as they get older. They're very pretty, but I don't think it's been shown to be a predictable trait by anyone yet though. (does anyone know if any of the offspring of a ruby-freckled have developed freckles?)
