Show & Tell
Hours old at the time of this photograph, the first 2016 SMR Cayenne Fire hatched on August 13th looks like a typical Fire (Amel Bloodred), but in a few short months that will change. The orange gives way to bright red and even the white ground zones change to red, often rendering a virtually uni-colored red snake. What distinguishes these from most Fire corns is the possession of a third gene mutation, Red Factor (RF). Corns in this brood will be the only ones to hatch this year from pairing the South African Line male with John Finsterwald’s (https://coloradocorns.com) beautiful SMR Cayenne Fire here on breeding loan. If you don’t buy any from me, you’d better contact John quickly before these run out. Almost all of my half of these is already reserved, so few (if any) will be offered for sale at large on my web site. Of course, like all of our red-modified corns, this one–and all of its siblings–the orange colors seen here will be extremely red at maturity.
