Show & Tell

Photo of a brood of freshly hatched Blizzard corns photographed a few years ago here at SMR. Not all Blizzards hatch without showing their markings. I’ve seen many showing markings at this age mature to be essentially pattern-less as adults, but most Blizzard corns produced in the U.S. have tinges of carotenoid yellow at maturity. Blizzards are Amel Charcoal mutants, so there is no melanin in them. The black crescents seen in the eyes are thought to be areas of tissue with density sufficient not to reflect light? Bonus PIC . . .
