Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Does anyone know if these species can be breed together? I do not want to, I was just wondering if it was possible. I know kings, milk, rats/corns can all be inter-bred, and this gopher looks very similar to them. I was just wondering if it was possible. I am a sucker for useless info

Gopher corns were one of the first hybrids proven to be fertile F2 Gen. they have been around for years, but alas they are not that attractive (at least most aren't) and therefore they didn't reach popularity of the king x corn crosses.

ya, I would think that they'd be pretty bland color wise. Plus, why would you want a corn with the attitude of a gopher snake. I'll just stick with my corns, kings, jungle corns

This male is the result of a cross between a wild caught male cornsnake and what I was told was the F2 of a cornsnake x bullsnake cross.

Forgot to mention that the male above behaves like a corn. I mated him to a bullsnake female and got this snake. She behaves more more like a bullsnake.

I mated the male above to an amelanistic corn and some of the babies were amelanistic. I crossed one of them to the sister of the male above. I think I let my eggs get too warm last summer because most failed to hatch. Only two of this cross did and one died. Here is the one that lived. I photocopied it just this evening.

The amel cross looks like it has fat deposits, or is that just the picture?

The picture was taken by holding the snake upside down against the computer scanner. I think what you see is due to holding the snake against the glass.

Bigfoot.

it looked like one was trying to bite you so i figured you held them up against glass to avoid a bite

I was trying to hold it still so as to get a good scan. As you see in the scan below, my cat moved his head when I scanned him.

your cat has funny shaped paws is that why you scanned him?

We once had three cats, one white, one black and one orange. The white one was killed in the road. The black one asked to be let out one day. I opened the door for her and she never came back. Before the last one died of old age, we got a beautiful white kitty. When she was near grown, I took her to the vet to have ear polyps removed. The operation was a success but the patient died.

The vet offered to help us find a new cat so I told him I wanted a Hemingway cat. He found us one - extra toes on all four feet and the sweetest, friendliest personality you could ever hope for. We named him Bigfoot. He was hit by a car and killed.

The vet found us two more Hemingway cats, a brother-sister pair. Their extra toes are on the front feet only. You've seen Yeti. Here's Sasquatch.

This animal reminds me of my bull snake rat snake cross with pattern and head shape.

Nice animal. How long is it?

She's 2 1/2 years old and 3 feet, 4 inches long. Her father (the first picture above hatched in 1999 and is 4 feet, 5 inches long. His sister is about the same size.

Bigfoot

I believe that my BullxRat is a 2002/2003. He is over 5 feet, and has brown dorsal and lateral blotches, yellow undertones, a gray head and some orange on the tail. Girth wise, he's probably over two inches at the largest section.

Have you ever bred one of your crosses to a Lampropeltis?

>Have you ever bred one of your crosses to a Lampropeltis?

This spring will be my first opportunity. I now have 4 king females (each of a different color or pattern) and a corn x king male of breeding size with more reaching that size next year. The amelanistic corn x bull hybrids I've gotten so far look like corns and I really don't want snakes that can be mistaken for a pure species. I want well behaved snakes (don't bite, defecate or musk when handled) as pretty as what you find on this forum, but bigger.

why do you hold them up against glass to take pictures?

My error. I meant scan, not photocopy. The snakes were held upside down on the scanner.
