Show & Tell

Because the pie-bald (aka: Pied) mutation is demonstrated in so many serpent species around the world, knowing it will eventually be demonstrated in the corn snake species with white in all body zones, I named this morph Pied-sided because the white is relegated to the sides only.  This Pied-sided (aka: p/s) Bloodred will breed for her last time this year.  Now about 13 years old, she still lays large clutches of viable eggs, but I know in a couple more years that one more clutch could lead to her demise, so she is being retired to enjoy SMR mice without the necessity to make more hatchlings for us.

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.

This beautiful Fire (Amel Bloodred) corn snake was produced by my dear friend, John Finsterwald, but it’s more than just a Fire.  One of its parents was as WhiteOut (Blizzard Bloodred) so some interesting collateral genes will be byproducts of this project.  I will, of course, be infusing the SMR Red Factor gene into this line to enhance the red.

This appears to be an exceptional Miami Phase corn snake, and it IS, but I cheated.  The only reason I cite that one of the parents of this Miami was a Tessera is to demonstrate the amazing collateral genetic power of the Tessera gene mutation.  It seems that virtually every morph or mutation that is combined with Tessera not only makes exceptionally beautiful Tesseras, but also enhances their non-Tessera siblings (like this one).
