2017 Banded Extreme Okeetee and Banded Buckskin Okeetee.  The center snake could be described as a Banded Miami Okeetee at this age, but previous siblings of this snake matured to have more of a Buckskin-colored ground zone than holding the silver ground zone color of most Miami phase corns in the hobby toDAY.  These are both het for Charcoal, so they are capable of reproducing Banded Charcoal corns.

Some of you are already aware that there have been few (if any) Striped Sunkissed-type mutants that actually demonstrate contiguous dorsal striping.  These two Striped Honeys (Striped Sunkissed Caramels) exhibit typical pattern for this genetic compound.  Another atypical pattern deviation in most Striped or Motley compound mutants is demonstration of some belly checkering, a feature that is usually seldom seen in Motleys of any other genetic persuasion.  Most Motleys (and to my knowledge, ALL striped mutants), regardless of what other color or pattern mutations they possess, have no checkering on their bellies at all.  These two hatchlings will be listed for sale in the coming weeks, after several feedings of unaltered frozen/thawed pinky mice.

This 22″ 2016 male Amel Motley is currently eating frozen/thawed small fuzzy or large pinky mice.  One of his parents was het for Sunkissed, so that likely explains the yellowish ground color.  Therefore, it is likely that this one is het Sunkissed?  His $145.00 price includes

This 2016 male Super Salmon Snow corn snake is so named SUPER because he has both of the paired gene copies of the Dominate-To-Wild-Type Red Factor mutation, making him twice as colorful as Visual Het Snows that have only one of the paired gene copies. In the course of one more year of maturity, he will be notably more color-saturated as he is now.  He is currently 24″ long, eating large frozen/thawed large fuzzy mice.    His $265.00 USD price includes

This 2016 female 21″ Pied-sided Bloodred corn snake is currently eating large frozen/thawed pinky or small f/t fuzzy mice.   I’d call her a medium-white Pied-sided Bloodred though she may seem to have low-white-expression because photographing all of the white on these mutant compounds is difficult, if not impossible. Her $155.00 USD price includes Her price is lower than most medium-white P/S Bloods because she snapped at me several times during the photo shoot this evening.  What a grouch?!  ADDITIONAL PIC . . .

2015 female Blue Motley (aka: Dilute Anery Motley).  She has a light blush of pink which is usually only seen on males of this mutant compound.  The affect the Dilute gene mutation has on Anery corn snakes has the same impact as a gene mutation in some dogs and cats than render otherwise dark coats as one of many shades of gray.  Cats called Blue Persians or Blue Siamese and dogs called Blue Shelties (Shetland Sheep Dogs) or Blue Collies are actually more gray than blue.  So, NO, most Blue Motley corns are just some shade of gray, but distinctly more gray (or blueish) than Ghost or Anery corns.  Bonus pic
