Snake of the Day 03-04-16

Show & Tell

A truly supreme example of the Striped Bloodred mutation compound.  Most adults of this morph exhibit those faint “tweener” dorsal oval markings and broken striping, but fortunately, most of them diffuse so heavily through maturity that most would swear that they are essentially pattern-less.  We should be offering 2016 hatchlings this year, but there will be precious few since we have only two breeders that are this nice (this being one of them).

This 2015 female Striped Amel corn snake is now 16″ long, eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.   Her father was a Striped Sunrise Amel so she could have inherited a copy of the Sunrise gene mutation (her neonatal deeper colors and low degree of color contrast suggests such?  Her $155.00 USD price includes

This 2015 male Hypo Pied-sided Bloodred surely demonstrates the lowest expression of lateral white of any out there, but should mature to be a very handsome corn.  He is now 18″ long, eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.   His $125.00 USD price includes

This Striped Fire (Amel Bloodred) lacks the Red Factor (aka: RF) gene mutation, but we’re working to infuse that red-modifying gene into these beauties to render a solidly red and virtually pattern-less red corn.

Show & Tell

This Sunkissed Anery corn becomes more yellow with every shed, demonstrating that much of its yellow exhibition is the result of ontogenetic (via maturity) retention of carotenoids that are in the mice they consume.

Show & Tell

2015 male Gray-banded Kingsnake (Lampropeltis alterna) that is from the Granite-pattern line.  Females of this “morph” show little or no orange, emulating the namesake Granite stone, while males have more obvious orange markings, if not usually aberrant, and often chaotic?   We don’t yet know if these are gene mutations, but ongoing breeding trials will soon reveal their inheritance.  This one is owned by John Finsterwald of ColoradoCorns.com.
