JAVA
The first Javas were produced and named by a corn snake breeder in South Africa. We purchased several of the Java corns from him, but neither he or anyone else at this time can identifiy the inheritance (are they polygenetic productions, a new mutation, or a variant of an existing mutation?). Some believe that their likeness to some of the Kastanies points to the potential that Java and Kastanie are the same mutation, but more breeding trials are necessary to make that determination.
Our Java types come in many shades of brown, not unlike the Kastanies. The albino version of Javas (aka: Tangerines) look virtually identical to the albino version of the Kastanies (aka: Mandarins), so it is possible they are the same mutation, but again, more trials are indicated.
