Striped Hypo Bloodred
Female
d.o.h. 2011
33″ long on March 16, 2013
$175.00 shipped
 

Comments: Superior color and size maturity.

This Striped Hypo Bloodred female is now 33″ long and eating frozen/thawed fuzzy mice.  In the inset pic above you will note that her right eye has a noncircular pupil.  Her left eye has a similar anomaly, but not as noticeable.  This is not rare in corns, but often missed by the casual observer.  I’ve never known this ocular anomaly to be heritable, but then again, I’ve never done intentional breeding trials toward that goal. Like most snakes with unpatterened and uncontrasting facial colors, both eyes of this snake appear to be disproportionately large for the snake’s size, but it’s an illusion.  She’s a sweet snake and was almost embarrassingly calm during her photo-shoot.

Okeetee
Female
d.o.h. 2011
36″ long on March 31, 2013
 
$85.00 SHIPPED

Comments:  She has great pattern, color and size, but the reason for the low price on this female is possibly nothing you will detect (if you buy her).  She has been everything we seek in a SMR corn, but when I was photographing her for this feature, she was a maniac.  She continually struck at me and was otherwise intolerant of my interactions with her.  Since I don’t detect signs of an impending shed, she could have turned to THE DARK SIDE and is now going to be aggressive toward humans.  I’ve honestly never seen that happen, but just in case she is less than cordial from this point on, I’m pricing her to be worth having.  ToDAY, she is much better, but I’m wondering with all the smells in this building being so different from the building in which she grew up, perhaps she’s reacting to the unfamiliar smells?  Shrug?  Regardless, she is not guaranteed to be human-friendly, even though I suspect her attitude yesterDAY was temporary.

Striped Champagne
Female
d.o.h. 2010
40″ long on March 18, 2013
$250.00 shipped

Comments:  She’s not much in the pattern or color departments, relative to some Coral Snow types, but she appears to have ovulated so if you’re looking for egg practice, she should accept a male for you or for me this week.  She needs to be shipped this week.  If she is still here on ThursDAY (after this week’s last shipping DAY), I’ll breed her to something here so she can help keep the lights on at SMR.  
 
Generally speaking, Champagne corns have disorderly pattern.  They are fundamentally Striped mutants, so if you breed this snake to a Striped Corn, you’ll get 100% Striped mutants, even though some will exhibit the inferior pattern of virtually all Champagne corns.  If you breed her to a Motley, all the hatchlings will be pattern mutants, but some will demonstrate better Motley pattern from their Motley sire.

Reverse Okeetee 
Female
d.o.h. 2010
39″ long on Mar.19, 2013
$165.00 shipped

Comments:  Superior color

This 39″ 2010 female Reverse Okeetee corn could be a first-time breeder this year.  She’s lean from a long brumation (11 weeks), but already eating me outta mouse and home.  I like the low volume of white around her markings – probably because it’s a clean white and her orange ground-color zones are so clean.  She’s eating frozen/thawed adult mice.

Male
d.o.h. 2011
31″ long on Mar. 19, 2013
$175.00 shipped
 
Comments:  Superior color and fresh out of brumation.
 
 

This 31″ long 2010 male Amel is from a Red Mask Mutant parent and is eating frozen/thawed hopper mice.

He brumated from December 5th until Mar. 15, 2013 and as you can see he lost very little weight during his winter dormancy.

$300.00 shipped
 
27″ long female 2013 Striped Tessera with no black.  These are fairly uncommon, but not as desirable as the Striped Tesseras with black bounding their pattern.  Hence, the lower price on this female.  She’s eating frozen/thawed large fuzzy mice and is currently in a growth spurt.

Anerythristic A Corn Snake
Male
d.o.h. 2010
36″ long on March 2, 2013
$225.00 shipped
 
This male 2010 Anery Corn is now 36″ long and eating frozen/thawed hopper mice.  His father is a Kastanie Het for Anery so in addition to being visually an Anery mutant, he may also be a Kastanie.  If it’s just an Anery mutant, you may perhaps be paying too much for a beautiful corn, but if it’s an Anery Kastanie, you’re getting him for a very low price.  The inordinate amount of carotenoid yellow on this snake surely indicates it’s also Kastanie, but I cannot prove that right now.  AND if he has this much yellow now, there should be more than twice this much in a year.  Also, dietary carotenoid demonstration never ceases.  He will continue to get more and more yellow until the DAY he dies.
