This 2014 male Terrazzo corn is now 28″ long, eating frozen/thawed fuzzy mice. He is het for Lava.  All of our Terrazzo stock derives from the original Boyd-line, wild-caught Terrazzo and no other Terrazzo genes are in any SMR Terrazzos at this time.  Hence, the reason for the more overall tan body coloration and most diffused markings.  Her $205.00 price includes

Okay, I know.  ANOTHER non-snake, but this one just might gross ya out?  Back in 2010 I looked up when I was under our arbor to see this “poor” caterpillar navigating one of the big cedar beams.  I sent these pictures to www.whatsthatbug.com and they responded to my query about identification.  https://www.whatsthatbug.com/2010/04/28/double-mystery-possibly-underwing-caterpillar-with-unknown-passengers-syrphid-larvae  If you guessed that I’m bored–while awaiting the second wave of 2016 corn eggs to hatch–you’d be right, but if you love corn snakes, you probably at least have a curiosity about other forms of life.  I know I do.

This female (pic 1) laid 16 beautiful eggs whose corns will be siblings of the 2014 corn snake in pic 2.  Grandparents were an Anery Motley bred to a Charcoal by Nancy Wimer many years ago.  I believe that the snake in pic two is actually a Charcoal Anery (if not just a Charcoal), but I can’t explain the blush of pink, other than to guess that a red-modifying gene was hiding in one of the grandparents?

Probably an Anery Charcoal Red Factor.  Note the dark eyes.

Reached for the light switch in the garage recently to see this young Texas Rat Snake (Pantherophis obsoletus lindheimeri) dangling from a bicycle seat that was on a nail on the wall.  She appears to be a 2015 hatchling (age estimation because we have so many birds, lizards and mice around here).  I’ve found more of these around the house than any other species in the 17 years we’ve been here.  Just behind this species–in the realm of discovery frequency–is the Eastern Black-neck Garter Snake, Thamnophis cyrtopsis ocellatus.

Adult Male striped Tessera.  We don’t exactly know why some Striped Tesseras have vanishing striping, thereby not demonstrating dorsal striping on the tail, but most exhibit the top dorsal stripe zone onto most, if not ALL of the tail.  This make was loaned to Tom and Linda Thompson several years ago, siring some lovely Tesseras and Striped Tesseras.

From two corns het for Striped Sunkissed Caramel (Striped Honey) these Honey, Sunkissed,  Amel Sunkissed, and Honey Motley 2016 hatchlings will be listed for sale after they have voluntarily fed three consecutive times.  They are now only nine DAYs-old, so it will be a couple more weeks before we will certify them for shipping.  Only 8% of our 2016 eggs have hatched thus far, and most of the remaining eggs won’t begin hatching for another month (we’re still getting eggs daily).
