Thanks, Tara Smith in Washington for these stunning Sunkissed Anery Corns. The adult pic’d above will be put to good use at SMR this coming breeding season and the hatchling will surely join him in two years.

Well, all I can say for sure is that this Albino is the product of pairing a Striped Amel Java to a Striped Java Het Amel. Now, nearly 30″ long, she seems to be demonstrating the latent de-pigmentation we see in Sunrise Amel mutants that are also pattern mutants (stripe in this case). One more puzzle attached to our quest to identify the inheritance of the mysterious Java ?mutation?. The overall color seems parallel to many Kastanie Amels (Mandarin Corns), but of course, also what we expect to see in many Creamsicles. Are Javas unique mutants or something else?

A beautiful example of the Buckskin Okeetee Morph. This snake is het for Amel, but not for Caramel (as most would suspect from the pale ground-color). This 2013 hatchling should be amazing when fully mature. No, that’s not a cleft lip or damage on the rostrum. Nose color and markings render that illusion.

Most of the back 1/3 of this 2013 Scaleless Anery corn is covered with atypically small and round scales that almost
resemble decorative beads. That is not water you see reflecting light. It’s the dramatic compound contour of the less-flattened
scales reflecting the camera flash. This specimen begs the question, “are Scaleless and Micro-pave corn mutations closely related?“.

This 2011 female is 36″ long and eating frozen/thawed adult mice. She is the product of pairing a Neon Champagne Coral Snow to a Bloodred.

2011 male 37″ Corn Snake possibly het for Stripe, Anery, and Sunkissed eating frozen/thawed adult mice. !
Snake of the Day 09-25-13
This 50″ long adult female corn snake is the result of pairing a Butter Corn with an Ultramel Motley Corn. She is therefore het for at least Motley, Caramel, and either Ultra or Amel. This year, she produced 43 fertile eggs in two clutches, all of which hatched normally and healthfully.
Snake of the Day 09-26-13
2010 female Root Beer Bloodred eating frozen/thawed adult mice. Bred to a Creamsicle Bloodred this year, she yielded 18 beautiful hatchlings including both Root Beer and Creamsicle Bloodred corns.

This 40″ long female Anery is het for Avalanche (Snow Bloodred). As you can see, she shows traces of her Salmon heritage.
