Leucistic Gray-banded Kingsnakes (Lampropeltis alterna) at two years of age.  While some of them maintain a blush of orange as adults, this one will be extremely white when mature.  The mode of inheritance being dominant to wild-type, the het form of this mutation demonstrates an amazingly hypo-esque phenotype.

This 46″ female Tessera has been out of brumation now for four weeks.  She was actually captured loose in the hibernaculum when several containers that were stacked too high toppled over.  She obviously eats adult frozen/thawed mice, and I estimate her age to be around five years old? I could not discern which Tessera she was so I’m selling her at a reduced price (I cannot say what she may be het for–if anything).   Her $265.00 price includes     $old

Super Coral Snow Corn Snake –DAY 4 of 4

July 23 through July 26, SMR Daily S.O.T.D. and simultaneously published Daily SMR Facebook Features will exhibit variants of some of the Coral Snow Mutant Complex.  The four primary familial representatives of this complex include, Salmons (started by Jim Stelpflug), Champagnes (started by Pasco Paul), Bubblegum Snows (not to be confused with Bubblegum Ratsnakes, hybrid production of Albino Ratsnake X Amel Cornsnake) started by the late Lloyd Lemke, and Neons (refined by Stephen Wagner via enhancement of the colors in Lloyd Lemke’s Bubblegum Snow line).  They are the only four known to be the primary lines from which virtually all modern Coral Snow Corns are variants thereof.  To my knowledge, there is only one person who can visually identify which of the four primary families of Coral Snows are exhibited in the Coral Snow types that will be exhibited from July 23rd to July 26th.  No pressure, right, Marsha Matthews of poppycorns.com

We have seven 2015 hatchling Extreme Okeetee Tesseras we will be selling this year.  The pictured adult has the general volume of black that the 2015s will have when they are between one and two year-old.  Some will have even more black than this one, but it’s not possible to say which ones?
