Post-brumal shot of Tara Smith’s Sunkissed Anery corn snake, Nigel. 

Hurricane Snow Motley Corn Snake.  Many Hurricane Snow Motley corns appear to be “Coral-type” mutants, but this one has no Red Mask or Coral genes.  

It’s unusual for Hurricane Anery Motleys to have concentric margins that are not black, but I still like this one.  He is the result of pairing a Salmon Snow (aka: Coral Snow) Motley to a Hurricane Anery Motley. I can’t imagine how much carotenoid yellow he will have when he’s older if he’s showing this much yellow at age 2. 

This Fluorescent Corn Snake lacks what makes most of her kind beautiful; bold white blotch margins.

A non-Motley Salmon Snow (aka: Coral Snow) corn snake exhibiting greenish markings.  

Adult Red Mask Anery Motley corn snake.  This one is unusual for its mutation in that it exhibits a tasteful blend of reddish ground color zones with classically black markings.  On most male RM Aneries, the mask converts most of the black to brown.   

The relatively new dollar bill in this picture is for color comparison since all computer, tablet, and phone monitors render colors differently.  If the dollar in this picture looks like a dollar in your wallet, you are seeing the true colors of this Coral Snow Motley Corn Snake.  

A tastefully high-yellow Amel Tessera.  She is a small adult, so I can’t wait to see how much yellow she exhibits in another year. 

An exceptionally colorful Sunglow Motley.  Not all of our Sunglow Motleys render the red/orange color saturation demonstrated in this individual, but many come very close.  It’s the RM (Red Mask) mutation that is responsible for their deeply-saturated colors.  

This snake is the F¹ generation product of pairing a Java corn with a Kastanie corn.  The goal is to identify the inheritance of the Java morph, but it may be difficult since there is sometimes only a slight distinction between polygenetic, like-colored wild-type corns and one of the other mutations that look so much like wild-type corns (i.e. Kastanies).  Hopefully, one more generation will help determine if the Java morph is actually a unique mutation, is a Kastanie or other existing mutation, or is simply a polygenic wild-type variant.
