Snake of the Day 05-18-16

Show & Tell

What makes the atypical black circles on the back of this Anery Motley is the polygenetic result of non-mutant gene interactions.  These were originally called Hurricane Pattern Motleys because the black circles resemble the meteorological map symbol for Hurricane storms.  I haven’t paired any of my Hurricane Motley breeders for several years, but will make some of them later this summer.  Note the dark, low-contrasting eye.  The parents of this snake were both Anery AND Charcoal, so I believe this one to be both mutations, in addition to Motley, of course.    Bonus Pic . . .
