ToDAY’s SNAKE of the DAY (Thu., March 14, 2013)
36″ long on March 12, 2013
This 2010 female Granite Corn Snake (Anery Bloodred) is the second generation product of pairing a Snow Corn with a Rosy Bloodred (aka: Kastanie Bloodred). Therefore, in addition to being a Granite, she may also be a Kastanie. Only breeding trials will reveal this. She brumated from December 15, 2012 to March 12, 2013. She is in a stage of impending shed at the time of this picture (03-12-13). Her cage is marked with a frownie face that indicates when she hatched a spinal anomaly was evident. Typically, many of such congenital spinal anomalies are essentially rendered undetectable when musculature develops in those areas. Such is the case here, as I cannot find any such anomalies. I just wanted people to know that an Xray could reveal what I must have seen when she first hatched. ???

Most Commonly Used Name: Granite
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Recessive
Morph Type: Mutation Compound (Anery+ Bloodred)
This compound morph results from combining the color mutations, Anery and Hypo with the pattern mutation Diffused. As with most morph compounds that include the Diffused mutation, the Anery Bloodred mutation‘s color affect is generally more diffused than a typical Anery corn, and some are so hypomelanistic that their eyes are reddish in color (vs. the black pupil of the Anery Bloodred; aka Granite). Except for some of the color and pattern variants of this mutation compound.
