Interesting history of the Sunglow Motley Corn.
We first acquired a pair of sub-adult Sunglow Motleys before they bore that name (Justin Ratts of the Dallas/Ft.Worth area named them at that reptile expo in the mid 1990s) and I have reproduced them ever since. Most of them had the amazingly symmetric motley markings seen above (on right). Back in about 2004, Marsha Matthews (POPPYCORNS.COM) told me that from breeding trials with them, she gleaned that they were more color-saturated than virtually all Amel Motleys in the hobby because of a extra gene mutation she called RED MASK (aka: Red Factor)–which is dominant to wild-type.
