Pewter

This compound morph results from combining the color mutation, Charcoal with the pattern mutation Diffuse.  As with most morph compounds that include Diffuse, the Pewter mutation‘s color effect is greatly diffused (markings sometimes barely visible).  I can think of no other morph name that more accurately reflects the general appearance of most of the examples of the Pewter Corn.  Most are exactly the color of the metal, pewter. Some have greatly reduced lateral pattern that is obvious result of the original highly diffused Bloodred founding stock of all our Pewters.

What to expect:
Many Pewter hatchlings look like little more than regular Charcoal Corns, but the head should have some form of Diffuse head pattern, and the belly will be devoid of classic Charcoal Corn snake black & white checkering.  The belly pattern can have colors – and even pattern – but not organized checkering. Most Pewters have a soft gray overall appearance, but in the past few years, very dark (virtually black on black) ones have entered the trade.  We founded our Pewter stock by using the most diffused and patternless Bloodreds.
