Striped Anery (possibly also Tessera and Dilute)
Male
d.o.h. 2011
24″ long on Nov. 30, 2012
$200.00 SHIPPED

Comments: From the Scratch and Dent department, this 2011 male Striped Anery has a dorsal spinal enlargement.  His parents were both het for the Dilute mutation, so he is possibly a Blue Striped corn and I even believe him to be a Tessera since his father is a Tessera het Dulute Anery Motley (aka: Blue Motley). Obviously, were I certain of that genotype, he would be much more expensive, so this is a rare opportunity to pick up a potentially rare corn at a very low price.

He eats normally and has never been ill a DAY in his life.  The spinal anomaly is the same proportional size it was when he hatched, so I don’t expect it to become any more obvious than it currently is.  In fact, most spinal anomalies like this actually appear smaller with the dorso-lateral growth of musculature in that part of the body.  Also – from my experience with such anomalies/malformities – I do not expect this anomaly to have any deletarious impact on his life.  He eats large frozen/thawed fuzzy mice and has never had a lapse of appetite or ability to digest.  His temperament is typically corn snake, in that he is curious and has never demonstrated the slightest repulsion to being handled.  I have never known such an anomaly/malformation to be heritable.  We believe such anomalies occur during embryology and are akin to injuries any animal incurs in its life.

The bubble view in the upper-right corner of the above picture demonstrates the geographic location of the spinal anomaly and in the upper-left corner, the extent of the spinal protrustion.  If nobody buys him, we’re going to breed him to a Blue Motley (Dilute Anery Motley) in 2013 to find out if he’s a Tessera.  He had several Tessera siblings and from the perfetion of shape and contiguity of his striping, I stop just short of declaring that his is actually a Striped Blue Tessera.  His father is a Tessera Het Striped Blue Motley and his mother was het for Striped Blue Motley.

JAVA MUTATION
The first Javas were produced and named by a corn snake breeder in South Africa.  We purchased several of the Java corns from him, but neither he nor anyone else at this time can identifiy the inheritance (are they polygenetic productions, a new mutation, or a variant of an existing mutation?). Some believe that their likeness to some of the Kastanies points to the potential that Java and Kastanie are the same mutation, but more breeding trials are necessary to make that determination.

Our Java types come in many shades of brown, not unlike the Kastanies.  The albino version of Javas (aka: Tangerines) look virtually identical to the albino version of the Kastanies (aka: Mandarins), so it is possible they are the same mutation, but again, more trials are indicated.

GENDER PAIR of siblings from crossing a Kastanie mutant with a Java ?mutant?

Male and Female

d.o.h. 2011

24″+ long on October 17, 2012

$450.00 shipped

Comments: Prospect of new morph as a result of this genetic pairing.

–

This gender pair of 2011 siblings are now eating frozen/thawed fuzzy mice.  What is Java?  Is it a Kastanie, a separate (and new) mutation, or just a polygenic production that’s similar to Kastanies?  IF Java is actually Kastanie, these are pure Kastanie mutants.  If Java is something new, these babies are double hets, and if Java is just a polytenic color modifier, these are beautiful corns that are het for Kastanie??

What are Java and Kastanie corns?

KASTANIE
The first Kastanie to be discovered was by a German Corn Snake Breeder and teacher named Frank Schaub.  The English translation of Kastanie is Chestnut.  That was before the year 2000.  Since that discovery, the Kastanie mutation has been bred into many other color and pattern mutations to produce beautifully-colored corn snakes.  The mutation is recessive to wild type.  Generally, they are anything from mahogany to mocha colored with contrasting markings against ground color zones.  As they mature, they usually darken, but the color scheme seen in most non-albino corns (the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the body having more color-saturated colors) is pronounced in Kastanies.
Example of small adult:
