Snake of the Day 08-25-14

SHOW & TELL

2013 Amel corn Het for Cinder (one parent was a Peppermint–aka: Amel Cinder).  Most Amels that are het for Cinder have a look that Cinder breeders recognize as markers for being het Cinder.  Of course, just seeing an Amel like this is no guarantee that it IS het Cinder, but it’s handy to have indicators when culling possibly non-Cinder Amels from Het Cinder broods.    S . . .

2013 Okeetee sibling of Extreme Reverse (Amel) Okeetee corns.  This corn has NO Tessera mutant ancestry, despite its amazing color saturation.  Also, Photoshop did NOT contribute to this snake’s oddly rich coloration. 

NOTICE:

The SSL message some of you saw this morning indicating that our SSL (Secure Site License) expired was erroneous.  Well, technically it DID expire and SMR was therefore did not have the super encryption we provide for a few hours, but only because I forgot to have my webmaster, Drew Lambeth, reset his server after I paid for renewal two weeks ago.  Therefore, our site is still encrypted and safe for navigation and purchases. No data on our web site was in danger, evidenced by the millions of world-wide web sites visited daily not even having added encryption security at all.  SSL is mainly a protection for you when transferring your payment data to us, but no purchases were made during the few hours of this lapse of SSL update.

SHOW & TELL

Young adult Charcoal Terrazzo Corn Snake.  Fortunately, we used one of the original Terrazzos (formerly called Granite) that had very little striping when we crossed the grandparents of this snake (Pewter X Terrazzo).  Therefore, very little pattern is exhibited in most of our Charcoal Terrazzos.   . . .
