Show & Tell
Hatched on May 10th, these 2017 hatchlings are from parents, Striped corn, het Amel Honey and Striped Honey, het Amel. The snakes with the bold dorsal SPOTS are actually Striped mutants, though they do not demonstrate classic striping. We don’t precisely know why some Striped mutants do this, but if you breed ones like these to visually striped corn snake mutants, you will usually get some classically striped mutants, some that have no striping (but bold dorsal markings like toDAY’s featured corns) and some with both? Surely, the distinction between these two Striped geme mutation phenotypes is the result of an additional gene mutation? Beyond the commonality of some Striped mutants demonstrating little or no striping, Sunkissed is famous for the collateral affect of altering traditional Motley or Striped gene expression. Bonus pic
