Gene
Red Factor is a corn snake gene that deepens reds and, on snakes without red pigment such as Snows and Aneries, adds pink between the saddles. It is incomplete dominant: one copy shows, and two copies, called Super Red Factor, give stronger color. Hatchlings can be hard to tell from non-carriers; the color builds over the first sheds, often starting at the head and neck, and males usually show it more strongly.
One copy shows Red Factor. Two copies make a Super Red Factor.
Two hobby references and several breeders describe Red Factor as incomplete dominant, with one copy visible and two copies stronger, and no source found calls it polygenic or line-bred. No published test breeding with clutch counts was found. Many older red lines were built by selection and can also carry Red Coat, a separate recessive red gene, so breeders say Red Factor on a given snake is best confirmed through its parents, clutchmates or a test breeding.
Some breeders call one copy of Red Factor Coral and two copies Salmon, but the words are not used consistently: older references use Coral and Salmon for snakes carrying Hypo or Strawberry. They are not treated as Red Factor here.

Guides and articles for Red Factor corn snake owners.
A corn snake usually costs about $40 to $100 to buy. In early October 2026 PetSmart listed its corn snake at $89.99 and its “fancy” corn snake at $99.99, both sold in stores only, while a large US reptile dealer priced a baby classic corn snake at $39.99 and common color morphs such as amelanistic, […]
A corn snake asks for four things and is unforgiving about exactly one of them. It needs a big enough box, a warm end and a cool end, a meal every week or two, and a lid that actually latches. Get the first three roughly right and you have an animal that will live with […]
Corn snake morphs are inherited color or pattern variations and combinations of those traits. Amelanistic, Anerythristic and Snow describe different pigment outcomes; a pale snake is not automatically Snow, and a normal-looking snake can carry a recessive variant. Start a corn snake profile with the seller’s exact morph claim, parent identifiers and dated photographs. Keep […]
