Snake of the Day 01-24-18

Pictured above are a SUPER (Homozygote) Salmon Snow corn snake, possessing both of the paired gene copies for the dominant mutation, Red Factor, with a Salmon Snow Tessera (only heterozygous for RF), possessing only one of the paired RF gene copies (expressing about half of the vibrant coral coloration of the homozygote).  Technically, both are homozygotes of Amel and Anery, of course, but only the non-Tessera in this picture is a homozygote for the RF gene mutation. 
2018 will be the first year I’ll be pairing Salmon Snow Tesseras like these to het and homo Salmon Snow-types.
