What is a pearl corn snake's genetic make-up???

PEARL SNOW (amelanistic + lavender)

This is a special name for the all white form of the OPAL. It isn't really clear if these animals are the result of being also homozygot for ANERYTHRISTIC, the so called SNOPALS. Today, it is really hard to find that PEARL SNOWs, because nearly all OPALS and SNOPALS show the typical OPAL orange tones.

I hatched 3 white and 3 pink opals a long time ago.......1 of each didn't eat and I guess died.....I kept one of each and sold SerpenCo one of each .......

I have had 0 anery in my lavender lines.....ever.........

.......since then (10 years plus)......I haven't made another all white one but have made ? 100? pink ones.....

last year I made 3 what I call clear ones......no color to the saddles actually......they ahve since turned out to be off yellow and white? go figure......I still have 2 females and gave Ian G. one female last year during a big "take it all" deal......I know he sold it to someone for a snow and they have NO idea what they got.......if they read this or you know them.....have them email me......?....

I have no idea why it took over a decade to get clear or why they turned yellow and I have no idea what they will make.......
especially since I have no opal or lav males right now.....
and if I breed them to the ultramel lavs I have .it will screw up the whole deal......so I won't...

.......
....pearls......not really alot around.......I really don't know if anyone has them.....I really don't know what they are

.......I had a snow once from SerpenCo that would have been a better candidate for a Pearl..it was just a snow......it came from a pair of anery A frosted looking snakes from Rich....it grew up to be the whitest and brightest white I ever saw on a snow corn........*(it's now dead and gone and it's kids all sold somewhere I guess)....

.......good luck.......

Mated one of your opals to lav, amel het lav and het opal. The opals range from pink to a pale white. Will have to wait and see how they develop.

Nice........pinker is cooler........

where you been man? hunting deer ?and turkey and all?? fishing?..........you lucky to have time to do this crap....all I do is work........hhahaha.......sucks.....

........all my opals turn white in 2 or 3 years here..........most die in 4 or 5......lav males don't make it too long either.........why I have no idea.....
