Snake of the Day 02-08-18

Show & Tell

One somewhat overlooked–but vital–asset of a SMR Charcoal Terrazzos is that regardless of what color is mixed with these, their base genes are only a couple of generations from their wild-caught Key Cornsnake ancestors.  Important to other corn snake projects because the original BOYD LINE stock was/still is known to have low contrast between pattern and ground zones AND most of their upper-body pattern is largely relegated to the anterior zone from the neck, spreading tail-ward.  This facilitates the potential to make nearly stripe-less Terrazzos, if you don’t count what gave them their first hobby name, Granite; random scattering of flecks of color almost everywhere on their bodies?   Bonus PIC . . .
