Show & Tell
I probably should have published these separately, so resolution would be better, but for comparison, I stacked them in the same pic. The top snake, owned by Catherine Turley, is a stunning Caramel Bloodred from Key stock. The bottom snake is a SMR low-white P/S Bloodred we produced several years ago, also from Key stock. If I recall who bought this gem from us, I’ll request a current pic. BTW, the scant p/s expression on this snake (barely shown in this pic) did not derive from any of the hobby Pied-sided mutations. It just spontaneously cropped up in this line, from parents that had never been bred to any of our P/S Bloodred mutants. What these two snakes demonstrate is the inherent phenotypic value of breeding some of our common corn snake mutations to good Key corns; extreme diffusion of markings?
