Show & Tell
While there the color variety we expect from all corn snakes, this color theme of Amel Tessera seems to be most popular for this morph here at SMR. The large and seemingly opaque pupil is the result of over dilation from the continuous flashing of strobes during photography.
Show & Tell
I don’t recall if I ever bred this female, but she’s about five years old now. I recall that when I made an effort not to promote Ultramels a few years ago, I put this female on the back shelf. But this year I think I’ll see what her babies look like. She’s lean because she just emerged from a long brumation. She’ll fill out in just two or three weeks.
Show & Tell
What makes the atypical black circles on the back of this Anery Motley is the polygenetic result of non-mutant gene interactions. These were originally called Hurricane Pattern Motleys because the black circles resemble the meteorological map symbol for Hurricane storms. I haven’t paired any of my Hurricane Motley breeders for several years, but will make some of them later this summer. Note the dark, low-contrasting eye. The parents of this snake were both Anery AND Charcoal, so I believe this one to be both mutations, in addition to Motley, of course. Bonus Pic . . .
Show & Tell
This appears to be an exceptional Miami Phase corn snake, and it IS, but I cheated. The only reason I cite that one of the parents of this Miami was a Tessera is to demonstrate the amazing collateral genetic power of the Tessera gene mutation. It seems that virtually every morph or mutation that is combined with Tessera not only makes exceptionally beautiful Tesseras, but also enhances their non-Tessera siblings (like this one).
Show & Tell
This beautiful Fire (Amel Bloodred) corn snake was produced by my dear friend, John Finsterwald, but it’s more than just a Fire. One of its parents was as WhiteOut (Blizzard Bloodred) so some interesting collateral genes will be byproducts of this project. I will, of course, be infusing the SMR Red Factor gene into this line to enhance the red.

This 2014 male Extreme Okeetee corn is het for Scaleless (father’s pic below). He is currently 36″ long, eating frozen/thawed small adult mice. His $425.00 USD price includes

One of our adult female High-white Reverse Okeetees. We’ll be selling her babies–and High-whites from at least one other exceptional example of this morph–later this summer.

Fresh from a very long brumation, this adult female Charcoal Terrazzo corn snake should be ready to breed in five weeks.

This male Striped Salmon Ghost corn snake (lower right) will breed the Striped Ghost female (darker of the two) in five or six weeks. This male is also slated to breed a Striped Salmon Ghost corn that looks virtually identical to him.
Show & Tell
This adult female Salmon Snow Corn emerged from a very long brumation yesterDAY. In two weeks, I’ll post a S.O.T.D. feature that shows how inflated she will be from eating one adult mouse every four or five DAYs (post-brumal feeding regimen).
