Show & Tell
Here is one of the two 2014 Hurricane Anery Motley corns that hatched this year with geometrically rectangular dorsal patches between markings (I shared a brood shot of this one with siblings on May 16, 2014). Since only two of the eleven eggs yielded Motleys with these non-ovular zones between markings, there is a strong likelihood that they are the result of a gene mutation. Future breeding trials will tell the story. Bonus Pics . .

These two 2014 Pied-sided Bloodred (aka P/S Bloodred) corns are siblings. Note the typically shattered and discontiguous striping on the P/S Bloodred Tessera. Most of the sides of both snakes should change to solid red with maturity, but since the parents of these are from Rich Hume’s “White-sided” Granite, I’ll be keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed that some will have contiguous lateral white.

Show & Tell
These two 2014 Anery Tessera Corns demonstrate two different top-dorsal ground stripes. One theory says that the differing dorsal ground stripe widths demonstrate the difference between Anery Tessera Motley and Anery Tessera Stripe, however, the jagged edges of the one with the wider stripe also hints association with the Motley gene mutation. Note that the dorso-lateral stripes are wide on both examples like those on a Striped Motley mutant. The dirty-white ground-color zones is not all-together rare, but less common than bright white at this age. In virtually all such cases, these mature not to have white or gray ground color zones.

These two 2014 corns have virtually nothing in common–other than both being corn snakes. They were chosen for this photograph for their color contrast. The Striped Pewter Tessera for its atypically dark blacks and the Sunglow Motley for its brilliant red/orange colors. Bonus Pic . . .

Having kinking issues with my original line of Lavender Tesseras, this year, I decided to stimulate the hobby inventory of Lavender-types by breeding my Tessera Het Lavender to an “old school” Hypo Lavender Motley. The result exhibited a surprise. Bonus Pic . . .

The pride of this family of Palmettos demonstrates what we now call a “Splash” of color (thank you, Martin Baker and Son for that idea). The previous term “rash” just didn’t ring well and had negative connotations. Bonus Pic . . .
Show & Tell
2014 Lava Terrazzo corn hatchlings. We’ve often been asked if the pink eyes mean they are Albino (Amel)? No way! These are not only NOT AMEL, but they are not even Het for Amel. The red eyes are apparently the ocular culmination of the two mutations; Terrazzo and Lava. No, the Tessera is not related. I had two clutches of eggs in this incubation box; Tesseras and Lava Terrazzos.
