Snake of the Day 03-26-17

Show & Tell

Perhaps nothing nurtures the discipline of patience like waiting on eggs to hatch.  I find the anticipation exhilarating.

There won’t be many (if any) surprises hiding in these eggs, but certainly treasures.  This female Bloodred (?Diffused Masque?) is one I acquired from a South African corn snake breeder almost a decade ago.  When I pair her with a SA Cayenne Fire, I always get stunning Bloodreds and Canenne Fires.  Below are two 2014 babies from this annual pairing.  Don’t ask why one of them has some ventro-lateral white?  I’ve never bred any P/S Bloodreds with toDAY’s SOTD featured adult female.

This 20″ male 2016 RedCoat Lavender corn snake was produced by Catherine Turley.  He is 50% pos-het for Anery, and one of his perents had Strawberry in its family tree.  Yes, you see a “zaggy” kinked tail, but it’s relegated to the part of the tail that would not hinder reproduction.  Via sight and palpation I could not feel any other kinks or deformities in the spine, but I stop short of guaranteeing there aren’t any.  His $335.00 price includes

Show & Tell

“Halo” Snow Corns were named for their thin greenish/yellowish blotch borders.  Just like so many (? all ?) corn snakes that transform from one look as a hatchling to a sometimes dramatically different look when mature, when these first hatch they barely demonstrate any yellow or green around their markings, and most look like classic Snows for several weeks or months after hatching.  Anyone who bought Snow corns from us in the past few months should take a close look at them, since I sold all of the siblings of this snake before they were old enough to exhibit any yellow or green?

Eggs laid last week by this female Buckskin Okeetee.  Her markings are actually brighter red than this pic rendered.  These babies–and more from other females–will be offered for sale in a little over two months, after they are regularly feeding on frozen/thawed mouse pinkies.
