Snake of the Day 02-17-19

Show & Tell

Monochromatic corn snake lovers should have one/some of these Charcoal Terrazzos in their breeding inventory.  Not only because they are exemplary in their degree of color-less expression, but because all of our Charcoal and Lava Terrazzos derive directly from the original Craig Boyd line of this pattern mutant.  Compared to other lines of Terrazzos, Boyd Line Terrazzos show much less striped pattern.  We should have babies for sale later this summer. For those who are less familiar with the genetics of Terrazzos, while this snake is similar to a Striped/Vanishing Striped mutant, if you bred this snake to a Striped–or Vanishing Striped–mutant, none of their progeny would be Terrazzo OR Striped, unless they shared at least one copy of the genes of their partner.  In corn snakes Terrazzo is not ALLELIC to Stripe.
