Show & Tell
2013 Sunkissed Anery Corn Snake (thank you, PJ Coombs and Tara Smith). Watching this snake slowly exhibit more and more yellow as it matures (an inordinate amount of it at such a tender age), I’m sure that the extreme volume of yellow on his father, Nigel, is Carotenoid in origin. The reason why they develope so much of it so rapidly (compared to most corn snake Anery mutants) is not clear, but what DOES the Sunkissed mutation genetically do that is typically CORN? Also, most carotenoid yellow is relegated to ventro-lateral body zones, and seldom so much of it inside saddle zones as we are seeing here. Bonus Pics . . .
