Show & Tell

Adult female Hypo Pied-sided Bloodred with very little lateral white (none showing in this pic).  Her mate this year is a high-white Pied-sided Bloodred so she should make great p/s Bloodred babies as she did last year when bred to that male.

This Red Coat (RC) Lava male bred our female Hurricane Lavender Motley this year, so their babies this year should be great potential projects for people seeking colorful corns in the next generation.  Tomorrow’s S.O.T.D. will feature his 2016 mate (Hurricane Lavender Motley).

This BOYD LINE Terrazzo corn snake exhibits the colors and pattern of most of the originals of this line.  The lower red markings and tan ground color zones are what we’ve come to expect from Boyd Terrazzos.  Some have even less dorso-lateral striping than this one, rendering stereotypes of their original name, GRANITE, with virtually no pattern and lots of darker-colored stippling as you’d see in most Stone Granite.  That original name, Granite, was re-assigned to the Diffused Anery morph.

Hatched in the first season of Tesseras (2008) after I discovered their inheritance, now 8-years-old, this male remains one of the most colorful of our Tessera breeders.  This year, he was bred to two Extreme Okeetees, so the Tessera progeny from those should mature to have rich reds and blacks.

Perhaps the next-best exhibition of a striped pattern with deeply red/orange coloration that is typical in Striped Sunglows is this STRIPED MOTLEY SUNRISE AMEL.  We should have babies for sale in July this summer.
