2015 Amel ZagTec corns from Graham Criglow’s stock (perfected by Kasi Lodgigue).  Their pattern “aberrancy” is not attributed to a gene mutation, but to polygenetics (interactions between genes).  The morph name is a combination of the morph names ZigZag and Aztec, neither of which officially denote visible pattern namesake in Zagtecs.  I guess we could say that each of those patterns that has been demonstrated in both of those polygenetic hobby morphs, little of either is obvious in ZagTecs?     Bonus Pic . . .

Super Coral Snow Corn Snake –DAY 1 of 4

For the next four DAYs, the 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 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?

Some 2015 Scaleless corns hatched yesterDAY. Inquisitive lil buggers. Each time I’d change camera angle, they’d all follow my movements in syncrony, not unlike people in the gallery watching a tennis match. Precious. Yes, there are four Scaleless Caramels, but all the rest appear to be “normal” if not shockingly colored for non-color mutants? Their father is a Scaleless “common” het for Butter, but their mother is only het for Caramel
