Details

This 31″ long 2010 male Amel is from a Red Mask Mutant parent and is eating frozen/thawed hopper mice.

He brumated from December 5th until Mar. 15, 2013 and as you can see he lost very little weight during his winter dormancy.

Comments:  She’s not much in the pattern or color departments, relative to some Coral Snow types, but she appears to have ovulated so if you’re looking for egg practice, she should accept a male for you or for me this week.  She needs to be shipped this week.  If she is still here on ThursDAY (after this week’s last shipping DAY), I’ll breed her to something here so she can help keep the lights on at SMR.  

 

Generally speaking, Champagne corns have disorderly pattern.  They are fundamentally Striped mutants, so if you breed this snake to a Striped Corn, you’ll get 100% Striped mutants, even though some will exhibit the inferior pattern of virtually all Champagne corns.  If you breed her to a Motley, all the hatchlings will be pattern mutants, but some will demonstrate better Motley pattern from their Motley sire.

Comments: Superior color and size maturity.

This Striped Hypo Bloodred female is now 33″ long and eating frozen/thawed fuzzy mice.  In the inset pic above you will note that her right eye has a noncircular pupil.  Her left eye has a similar anomaly, but not as noticeable.  This is not rare in corns, but often missed by the casual observer.  I’ve never known this ocular anomaly to be heritable, but then again, I’ve never done intentional breeding trials toward that goal. Like most snakes with unpatterened and uncontrasting facial colors, both eyes of this snake appear to be disproportionately large for the snake’s size, but it’s an illusion.  She’s a sweet snake and was almost embarrassingly calm during her photo-shoot.

toDAY’s SNAKE of the DAY (Fri. Mar. 15, 2013)

 

This female Ultramel Tessera is now 36″ long, eating frozen/thawed small to medium adult mice. She offers great genetic potential when bred to any non-Lavender, red-eyed corn snake.  Since the Ultra gene mutation is codominant with Amelanism, by breeding this female to any Amel corn, approximately 1/2 of the progeny will be Amel and the remainder of them will be Ultramels (along with a percentage of any recessive mutations that both snakes possess).

 toDAY’s SNAKE of the DAY (Wed., March 13, 2013)

The inherent Value of the Snow Tessera – in addition to the fact that breeding it to ANY other corn snake color or pattern you will get approximately 50% Tesseras – is that if you breed this snake to a Snow corn snake (or any compound of the Snow mutation), approximately 50% will be Snows and 50% will be Snow Tesseras.  By pairing this snake to a common corn that is Het for Snow, in the first brood of their progeny you can get:
