Show & Tell
2015 Amel and Charcoal ZagTec corns. The morph name derives from the combination of the morph names ZigZag and Aztec, but in name only, since neither officially denotes the visible pattern in Zagtecs. Instead perhaps it denotes that while they are not normally patterned, they are neither of the two, but often similar to both? Their pattern is not inherited via gene mutations like most corn snake pattern mutants, but via polygenetics; the interaction of genes that result in alteration of expression. Therefore, expression of the namesake pattern is not predictable, and sometimes very disappointing because of a low volume of aberrant namesake pattern.
