This 2015 male Amel Striped Tessera is now 26″ long, eating frozen/thawed fuzzy mice.  The predominant yellow is a good indication that he could be het for Sunkissed, since some of his siblings were Sunkissed mutants.

This 2016 female Fire (Amel Bloodred) is now 16″ long, eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.  She may never be red like most Fire corns because she is het for Caramel, but if your goal is to make a nearly pattern-less Orange corn, consider this Fire.

Produced by Catherine Turley, this 2016 female Lava Lavender is possibly also RedCoat?  She is now 16″ long, eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.  She has several spinal kinks ((minor ones on the tail and a severe dorsal kink about mid-body (blue arrow pointing in second pic).  I don’t guarantee that those are the only spinal kinks on her.

This 2016 20″ female Amel Tessera is currently eating unaltered frozen/thawed large pinky mice.   Grandparents of this snake are a stunning red and white High-white Reverse Okeetee x Amel Tessera so she has the potential to make some stunningly red and white babies when bred to a nice Candy Cane or High-white Reverse Okeetee?

This 2016 19″ female Snow Tessera is currently eating unaltered frozen/thawed large pinky mice.  ?LONGSHOT? potential is that she COULD be a homozygote Tessera since both of her parents were Tesseras?  BTW, she is genetically more than meets the eye?  She is an Amel Anery Tessera, so if you bred her to a commonly-colored corn that is het for Snow, you could get Commons, Common-colored Tesseras, Amels, Amel Tesseras, Aneries, Anery Tesseras, Snows, Snow Tesseras, and other mutant pattern or color mutations that are hiding in this otherwise typical looking Snow Tessera; all in just one brood?   Her $215.00 USD price includes

NOTE TO SELF: find lighter background when shooting all-black snakes. This Mexican Black Kingsnake (Lampropeltis nigrita) was produced by Terri Bienkowski. I bred this species back in the 1970s and 1980s, but many of them back then were heavily freckled, and often dark brown instead of black. Today, such non-black MBKs are rare. Even softening the lights for this pic could not hinder the reflection on this PATTON–LEATHER–like serpent.
