{product id=947}

This 2014 male Charcoal Tessera is possibly a Pewter Tessera.  Some of his siblings included Pewter Tesseras, but his belly markings do not look like typical Pewter Tesseras.  Therefore, if he is not a Pewter Tessera he is a Charcoal Tessera Het for Diffused/Bloodred.   His $195.00 usd  price includes         

Hognose 0112B

{product id=946}

This 2014 male Western Hognose has never refused an unaltered frozen/thawed pinky mouse.  He is het for the mutation, Toffee Belly.  He is about nine inches long now, eating me outta mouse and home.  His $195.00 usd  price includes       

CAUTION:  ALL Western Hognose snakes–regardless of color and pattern–are considered mildly venomous.  Their venom has never resulted in a human death, and symptoms of being envenomated by a hognose resemble those of allergic reactions to insect stings and plant poisons. If you have allergies to insect stings, it’s advised that you never handle a Western Hognose.  While extremely rare, most bites to humans result from the confusion of smelling food either on or in the vicinity of the care giver.  Children should not handle Western Hognose snakes without parental supervision.  I’ve had hognose snakes for over 40 years and have NEVER seen or heard of anyone being bitten by one from anger or aggression.  Open mouth threat displays–and consequent striking–essentially never result in bites to humans, so virtually all bites are from feeding reactions.  Healthy hognose snakes seem to be perpetually hungry, and will react accordingly. Therefore, extreme caution should be employed when first opening their cages.

If you have severe allergies to insect stings, it’s advised that you never handle a Western Hognose without protective gloves.  While extremely rare, most bites to humans result from the confusion of smelling food either on or in the vicinity of the care giver.  Children should not handle Western Hognose snakes without parental supervision.  I’ve had hognose snakes for over 40 years, and have NEVER seen or heard of anyone being bitten by one from anger or aggression.  Open mouth threat displays–and consequent striking–rarely, if ever, result in bites to humans, so virtually all bites are from feeding reactions.  Healthy hognose snakes seem to be perpetually hungry, and will react accordingly.

Scaleless Anery 0110B

{product id=943}

2014 male Scaleless Anery Corn Snake.  The Scaleless gene mutation was first discovered in France from the pairing of a Corn to an Emory’s Ratsnake, so all Scaleless corns in the hobby toDAY are inter-species hybrids.  This male is approximately 15″ long, eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.  His $1,050.00 price includes

{product id=960}

This 2014 female Charcoal Terrazzo now 16″ long, eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.  While her eyes look a little “buggy”, it’s not an uncommon look in such a slender mutant as Terrazzo. Also, the absence of facial color and markings–which are elemental in disguising the size and location of a snake’s eye–renders a super-ocular appearance.  Her $395.00 usd  price includes         . .

Tessera Het Scaleless 0109B

{product id=942}

The nice thing about new corn snake projects these DAYs is that we have such a huge inventory of morphs and mutations, there is ample opportunity for ANYONE to be the first to make a new mutation compound.  This 2013 Tessera offers just such an opportunity.  Well, perhaps not potential for the FIRST, but close enough.  This male Tessera is het for Anery and Scaleless.   He is currently 30″ long and weighs 152 grams empty.  If he is not sold, I fully expect him to be over 36″ when I’m ready to breed snakes for 2015 production.  Therefore, if bred to a female with the same genes, the potential for the first Scaleless Anery Tessera is very good.  Even if someone hasn’t got a genetic match for this snake, there is great potential for making good money in just a few short years. If you don’t have a female that’s het for Scaleless, breeding this Tessera to any Anery corn will render some Anery Tesseras (in addition to classic Tesseras and classic Aneries).  Because some of those will also be het for Scaleless, one need only hold back all of the females to raise and bred back to their father; this snake OR one like him.  Some of them won’t be het for Scaleless, but even without a female that matches this snake’s genome, this would be the quickest way to get Scaleless Tesseras and/or Scaleless Anery Tesseras.    His $1,500.00 price includes       

 

Fire – 2014

Fire (aka: Amel Bloodred, Amel blood, Diffused Amel )
Most Commonly Used Name: Fire
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Recessive
Morph Type: Mutation Compound (Amel + Diffused)
Eye Color: Red pupil

 

Go to History for more details about the DIFFUSED / BLOODRED base mutation of this compound morph.

This compound morph results from combining the color mutation, Amel with the pattern mutation Diffused.  As with most morph compounds that include the Diffused mutation, the Fire mutation‘s color affect is generally more diffused than a typical Amel corn, but nothing compared to Cayenne Fire mutants that possess the additional Red Mask mutation. Except for some of the color and pattern variants of this mutation compound, Fires arguably have much less color contrast than typical Amels and generally redder coloration. Expect dramatically reduced white margins, compared to most non-pattern Amel type mutants. 

 

 

What to expect:
Many Fire hatchlings look like little more than regular Amel Corns, but the head should have some form of Bloodred head pattern, and the belly will be devoid of classic Amel Corn snake white & off-white checkering.  The belly pattern can have colors – and even pattern – but not organized checkering.  From a short distance, adults appear to be completely red or red/orange, but upon closer examination, most have a faint blotch pattern, and some will have minute traces of white on the scales around the posterior-most dorsal markings.

 

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 neonates will mature to properly represent their respective morph.  We take this responsibility very seriously, and therefore publish the guarantee that we will exchange your SMR snake if it does not mature to be like our advertised examples.

 

Java X Kastanie-0108b

Show & $ell 

{product id=940}

This 2012 female corn is the product of crossing a Java corn with a Kastanie mutant.  She is now 36″ long, eating frozen/thawed small adult mice.  Her $195.00 USD price includes     

The single recessive Kastanie mutation was discovered by Frank Schaub in Germany many years ago, but the Java corn is still–shall we say–undiscovered.  It was named by a breeder in South Africa as a morph that had a distinct phenotype common to all examples of this line, but it’s inheritance is still unclear. Breeding trials are on-going, and we soon hope to identify how the “look” is inherited. IS IT a rendering of gene interactions (polygenetics) or a gene mutation? IF a gene mutation, is it Kastanie?  Both morphs (Kastanie and Java) are in a small fraternity of corns with phenotypes that are similar to wild-type.  Not that Kastanies cannot be easily seen in a crowd of common corns, but because they’re not a pattern mutation or an obvious and distinct color mutation like Motleys, Amels or Aneries, breeding them to other corns (especially wild-types like Okeetee, Miami phase, etc.) can result in progeny that can be somewhat mimics of wild-types.  

This pairing in 2012 was done in an effort to help discover if perhaps Javas are actually Kastanie mutants.  The jury is still out on this because this female (and virtually all of her siblings) has some strong Kastanie features, but more importantly she is NOT wild-type in appearance. Breeding a mutation like Kastanie to a non-Kastanie SHOULD render babies that are very similar to wild corns, but as you can see, this one is anything but that.  It has the classic Kastanie feature of the orderly and more geometric Kastanie saddle markings that are often shorter than wild-types from saddle front to back.  If Javas owe their “morph” features to an alien species (like perhaps Emory’s Rat Snakes Pantherophis emoryi) colors and patterns like we see in this F1 out-cross are possible when bred to gene mutants, VS. seeing the wild-type appearance.  More breeding trials are obviously indicated.
