These two Leucistic Gray-banded Kingsnakes (Lampropeltis alterna) hatched last week, and are the only two we’ll produce this year.

Here’s one of the babies from the pairing of a Cherry Amel Tessera X eXtreme Reverse Okeetee back in March (featured SOTD 03-26-18). Like their non-Tessera counterparts, Cherry Amels have very little red when they first hatch, but quickly render more and more of it, beginning only weeks into their lives. BONUS  PIC . . .

I should know better than to report the early findings you’ll see in this article, but I’ll do so with the disclaimer that more trials are necessary before drawing any genetic conclusions. The parents of these two 2018 hatchlings are a Specter male and a Snow female. Genetically, pairing an Anery mutant to a Snow mutant (which is, of course, an Amel Anery) should render progeny that ALL demonstrate at least Anery, since both parents were Anery? Four common corns were in this brood, and the rest were all Anery types. I thought that perhaps some sperm from last year may have fertilized some of the eggs this year, but the Snow parent was bred to an Anery type last year, rendering all Anery mutants. SO, I won’t impulsively proclaim that something’s amiss here (genetically speaking) but perhaps we’ll learn more next year?

The parents of this 12″ long 2018 male Motley corn snake were both crosses of Kastanie and Java corns.  Thus far, such crosses satisfy the visual and heritable standards for Kastanies, so this is very likely a Kastanie Motley corn?   He is  currently eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.  His $265.00 usd price includes      S O L D . . .
