Anery Tessera
Female
d.o.h. 2011
33″ long on November 23, 2012

$650.00 shipped

Comments: Superior color and size maturity.

This 33″ long female Anery Tessera COULD actually be a Ghost Tessera.  Not only does she have the general
appearance of a Ghost, but some of her non-Tessera siblings were Ghosts.  I am playing it safe by saying she
is Anery Tessera, since even a Ghost Tessera is an Anery mutant.

The U.S. Dollar bill in the picture is for size and color comparison.  Every computer monitor renders different colors so we put this slightly used dollar bill in the picture so you can hold one next to your computer to assess the color of the snake.

This snake is in good health (not under or over-weight, no parasites or diseases that we are aware, no injuries or defects, and routinely feeding on unaltered frozen/thawed mice).

If we have noticed that the snake listed has any temperament or behavioral issues other than human-friendly, it will be detailed in Comments above.

Salmon Anery Motley
Female

$325.00 shipped

Comments: Superior color and size maturity.

This 36″ long female 2010 Salmon Anery Motley is the product of pairing a Salmon Anery Motley to a
Salmon Snow Motley.  She should, therefore, be a Strawberry Anery Motley, and of course, she
is Het for Amel.  Judging from other products of such a pairing, she should develop more of the
Coral overtone she exhibits now.

GENDER PAIR of siblings from crossing a Neon Champagne Snow with an Old-school Bloodred

Male and Female

d.o.h. 2011

31″+ long on Nov. 25, 2012

$325.00 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.  These sibling corns are already showing a great red overcoat.  Pairing them will result in Old-school Bloodreds, Aneries, Amels, Snows, Fires, Granites and Avalanches; most of which will have a high degree of red overtones.

Ultramel Tessera
Female

Possibly Het Anery
$550.00 shipped

 

 

This female Ultramel Tessera is now 36″ long, eating frozen/thawed small to medium adult mice. She offers great genetic potential when bred to any non-Lavender red-eyed corn snake.  Since the Ultra gene mutation is codominant with Amelanism, by breeding this feamale to any Amel corn, approximately 1/2 of the progeny will be Amel and the remainder of them will be Ultramels.  Since Tessera is a dominant trait, approximately 1/2 of the progeny will be Tesseras.  Therefore, approximately 1/2 of the Amels will be Tesseras and approximately 1/2 of the Ultramels will be Tesseras.

$225.00 shipped

This female 2010 Striped Motley Sunglow is now 33″ long, eating frozen/thawed hopper to small adult mice. Pairing her with Sunglow Motleys will yield Sunglow Motleys and Striped Sunglow Motleys.  Likewise, breeding her to a Striped Sunglow will result in Striped Sunglows, Striped Sunglow Motleys, and perhaps Sunglow Motleys.

Buckskin Okeetee
Female
d.o.h. 2010
38″ long on October 21, 2012
$200.00 shipped

Comments: Superior color and size maturity.

The Buckskin Okeetee is another example of the promotion of polygenic traits through selective breeding.  By breeding together specimens with an atypically tan ground coloration, through generational selection of pairing only the ones with the most buckskin ground coloration, we are now producing beautiful Okeetees with pale brown or tan ground colors.  Of course, this means that no mutations are involved, since instead, changes are made through selective breeding via changes in non-mutant gene interactions.

Kastanie
Male
d.o.h. 2011
24″ long on October 27, 2012
$300.00 shipped

Kastanie (no aka)
Most Commonly Used Name: Kastanie
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Recessive
Morph Type: Single Recessive Mutation

Eye Color:  Black pupil & body ground-colored iris

 

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.

 

What to expect:
Most hatchlings are quite differently colored than their adult counterparts. Some neonatal Kastanies look like many Anery Corn Snakes, showing very little color at all.  The example here is a six month-old neonate. 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.

Important Note:
  These images are not renderings of the actual animals being offered, (except for uniquely offered snakes found in the SURPLUS section of this web site).  We do not provide pictures of individual hatchling snakes for sale, nor do we recommend that you ever choose a new pet based on an image of its neonatal form.  Corns change so dramatically from hatchling to adult, they will NEVER have the same colors or contrasts throughout maturity. While most of the snakes we produce will mature to resemble the featured adult image(s) on our web site, unlike manufactured products that are respectively clones of each other, the nature of polygenic variation results in each animal being similar but not identical to others of its morph. The snake we select for you may not mature to be identical to the pictured examples, but will be chosen based on our experience of observing which neonateswill mature to properly represent their respective morph.  We take this responsibility very seriously, and therefore publish the guarantee that we will exchange your SMRsnake if it does not mature to be like our advertised examples.
