This 45″ adult male Creamsicle Okeetee is a great breeder.  Except for a recent blemish (small dark spot on head from trying to get out of his cage–attracted by the permeation of pheromones in the main snake building during the breeding season) he’s in perfect condition.  The blemish on the head should be all but invisible in a shed or two since it’s barely a rub.   His $175.00 USD price includes

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.

One of my favorite venomous snake species, I collected these two Mottled Rock Rattlesnakes (Crotalus lepidus lepidus ) about 12 DAYs ago in Brewster County, Texas.

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).

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.

Since her parents were a classic Amel Tessera bred to a Candy Cane,  I was surprised by the obvious soft yellow overtones on this Amel Tessera.  I’m hoping for a more orderly and classic Tessera pattern and perhaps some exaggeration of white in her babies this summer.
