Some of my keeper corns from this year and last...

[Hurley]

Thought I'd share some of my kids here. I tend to shy away from the yellow morphs and gravitate towards the greys and reds, so you'll see my preferences at play here. No butters or amels for me.

Hope you enjoy and I'd love to see others' corns in this thread if they wish to post them.

This is a phantom (hypomelanistic charcoal) and my pic of the litter of phantoms.

Here is Shere Khan, an Okeetee showing a remarkable sunkissed-like pattern without the sunkissed hypomelanism effect. Striking snake and currently one of a kind to my knowledge. Whatever she is, I love her and she's got a permanent home.

This little man is a fully Azteced Hypomelanistic Lavender. Great pattern.

Here's a 2 year old Lava female. Gorgeous and worthy of her gene's name.

This little guy shows his Caramel heritage in the yellowness of his background. Quantas is an ultramel het charcoal, possible het hypo, caramel, and motley.

Here's a really light and monochromatic Motley Lavender. We suspect he may very well be Anerythristic, too, given his coloration, but won't know until we crossbreed him. Until then, he's "just a gorgeous lav mot"!

This was my favorite little clutch this year. Only 4 eggs, but I hit the jackpot with one of each possible flavor. There is one each of Pewter, Bloodred, Hypo Bloodred, and the best hatchling I've ever produced patternwise from blood genes, a hypo pewter.

Here's that hypo pewter again, 6 months down the line:

Last post for now, I promise.


Here's a Dilute Anery Motley hatchling:

A beautiful Aztec Charcoal:

And a couple of non-corns, my keeper Bairdi male and a very nice High White Cal King

WOW! I am don't keep snakes, but I have to say you have BEAUTIFUL babies! I am actually jealous of a few of them!
Did you breed all of these? Or collect them over time? How many do you have total?

 

[Hurley]

Most of the above I bred, a couple I obtained. I think we've got around 130 or so snakes right now.

Love my corns and all the possibilities they offer.

Gorgeous, gorgeous snakes, every last one of them! The pewter corn and high white cal king are my favorites. Congrats on your beautiful babies!

I have a corn and a cali king, and i love them but im more a of a boa/python person, but im absolutely in love with that high white King. Are ones like that rare I would love one similar.

 

[Hurley]

It's tough to find them so white/black (vs. yellowish/brown). This is the best one I've seen, which is why I brought her home, LOL. A friend of mine owns the parent pair and produces a few outstanding ones each year. If you truely are after one, I can put you in touch with them.

And yeah, I understand, when I see pics of boas, my first response is "I'm much more of a colubrid person, myself." The big snakes are too wide and have too broad a heads for me, much like the milk snakes having too little of a head for me. My eyes see corns as having the ideal shape for a snake, which probably explains part of why I gravitate towards them so much.

Thanks everyone.

I love your aztec hypo lav, he has great peachy color. That king is incredible, too bad corns didn't come in a similiar color.

 

[Midnightrdr456]

Im the exact opposite. I dislike milks heads also, I think corns are middle ground, but i LOVE the wide heads of boas/pythons.

But still they are all beautiful. Ive seen a couple on Kingsnake like your white king, most were in the $150-250 range. That might just be my next snake.

Beautiful corns! I especially like the caramel and the lava. Here's my candy cane, Cinnabar, as long as we're sharing.

And her eating dinner yesterday:

 

[Hurley]

Cute baby and lovely coloration so far. I like the name.

 

[Mr. Mordax]

Thanks!

 

[xgrafcorex]

you have some great looking snakes! i really like that high white king...i have basically the opposite at home..a striped king with the colors reversed. gotta agree with you on the corns being the "perfect" snake. not too small, not too big, not too angry, and a great looking variety of colors.

oh, and welcome to the boards! i'm looking forward to seeing more snake pics!
