I love the results of the cross of a Catherine Turley Striped Buf Amel with a Candy Cane Tessera. The one in the middle with the yellow ground color is, of course, a Buf Amel.

These are the best eXtreme Miami Okeetees we’ve ever produced, but there are precious few of them to sell this year.  Great banding on some of them.

Show & _Tell

These three Buf sibling corn snakes are from the pairing of a Buf Sunkissed female (owned by Catherine Turley) and a SMR Striped Tessera.  Siblings included Tessera and Buf Tessera, as well as non-Tessera wild types.  Parent Pic . . .

This 12″ male 2018 Striped Cinder Tessera corn snake is currently eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.   He is possibly het Amel (therefore, pos het Peppermint) since his mother is a Striped Tessera from Peppermint parentage.  His $255.00 price includes

Which corn snake is not related to the others?  One is the product of pairing an eXtreme Reverse Okeetee with a High-white Reverse Okeetee.  The other two are from eXtreme Reverse Okeetee X same.  No idea how the eXtreme High-white Reverse Okeetee will look at maturity, but I look forward to breeding two of the best white ones together when they are mature?  Then, putting Tessera into that family tree.  BONUS  PIC . . .

One of the Amels from the pairing of Catherine’s eXtreme Miami Okeetee with one of mine.  Other than the overt banding of triads, I love the ornate head markings.  What a stunning adult this female will be in a couple of years? BONUS  PIC . . .

Show & _Tell

What first appears on this High-white Reverse Okeetee hatchling to be skin showing between scales is demonstrated in the inset macro shot to actually be color-less zones ON scales ground zone scales.  This snake is a little over weight (see the folds on the body profile in the center of the portrait shot), so one would mistakenly expect all of the “grey” lace pattern to be skin showing between scales.  As you can see, all of the scales are touching, exposing no skin between.  BONUS  PIC . . .

Yes, there are more colorful Peppermint (Amel Cinder) hatchling corn snakes out there, but there probably shouldn’t be?  This is because Peppermints are the genetic equivalent to Snow corns.  Anery and Cinder are both monochromatic (anerythristic) types, so when we cross one with an amel corn, the double homozygote (finished genetic product) is a red-eyed and mostly white snake.  The Cinder mutation is known to be the most colorful of Anery types, so we’re not surprised that Peppermints show so much color in their markings.  Almost all Peppermints (like their Cinder counterparts) are males because this mutated gene is “gender linked” to males.  Just like other gender restrictive gene mutations, there are exceptions, but they are very rare.  BONUS  PIC . . .
