Snake of the Day 03-27-16

Show & Tell

A 2015 Super Sunglow Motley (aka: Super Sun Motley).  Called SUPER because it’s a homozygote of the Red Factor (aka: RF) gene mutation, possessing both of the paired gene copies necessary to demonstrate maximum expression of the RF mutation gene.  The three gene mutations involved in this morph are, Amel, Motley, and RF.  In addition to mutations, the final genetic impact is polygenetic in origin (interactions between classic genes of this species).  BTW, saturation of the red coloration will continue to intensify throughout ontogeny (maturity), so this snake will be much redder a year from now, and should continue to redden thereafter.

Show & Tell

This 2015 male Granite Gray-banded Kingsnake (Lampropeltis alterna) is taking one of his first unaltered live pinky mice. When he and his siblings were just weeks old–and only two of them had taken altered frozen/thawed pinky mice for me–I sent all of them to John Finsterwald in Colorado.  He did his magic on them and sent all of them back to me feeding on unaltered frozen/thawed pinky mice.
