Hello forum!

I am going to purchase a new corn and can’t decide between a motley or hurricane (snow). I used to have about 12 corns but sold off most of them a while ago. I only kept one normal het snow motley female that I originally got from Dwight Good. Her name is Garnet (anyone remember her?). She’s very sweet and has an almost miami-look to her, not very orange, mostly light cremes with deep red saddles. I’m getting this new one to eventually breed with her, because I think the variation in the resulting babies would be a lot of fun (and good experience for me down the road with an egg-laying species).

So, just looking for some opinions… should I go with a hurricane motley or just a good ol’ motley? What do you think?

Is my understanding correct that the hurricane trait would not be passed on and the resulting offspring would most likely look like regular motleys?

Thanks,
-April

hurricane is just a "phase" of motley its not recessive so some babies could have a hurricane appearance. i personally love hurricanes so i say go with that but any motley in general is an awesome snake

thanks for the info. I was thinking it was a line-bred type of trait as opposed to recessive. Good to know!
I did decide to go for the snow hurricane motley.

I like Hurricanes on some colors, but on Snows I think plain Motley looks pretty cool!

Of course, Striped Motley is cool too
