Very faint black stripes on a nornal?

caz223 Dec 30, 2006 10:39 AM

I bought a few normal corns from a show in indy 2 years back.
They are really starting to show a lot or cool patterns, and I wonder if they are normal, or if there is some sort of morph at work.
One looks very nice but normal except for the pattern on her belly has orange showing through the white checkerboard. She also is beginning to show very faint shadows of black stripes running down her back.
I don't know a lot about corns, as kings are my first love, but these are making a believer of me.
Not a biter in the bunch, just an occasional tail rattle.

EXACTLY like that.

a lot of the wild specimens I've seen do have the faint stripes. I think this is fairly normal. These could be CB from wild caught animals. Not sure about the belly color.
