A couple of Motleys

Nokturnel Tom Nov 21, 2007 01:22 PM

These all came from the same pair of breeders. First is a neat Anery


This normal is a bit opaque but I love the pattern,

And the coolest one in the clutch, a Hypo Lavender Motley that's possible het Anery

Those are awesome! I am feeling myself being drawn back to corns after an extended absence and those are way cool!

Thanks Rob, I have had great luck with them but unfortunately most people come to me for Kings and Pits....regardless of my cool Corns. Still, at least they're coming to me for something LOL

Hey Tom,

I like the way that anery has dots going all the way down its back. It kind of reminds me of "dot-dash" Calkings, only without the dashes. It could make for an interesting breeding project - selectively bred corns that are "dotted."

Good stuff!

Super looking snakes. We had a couple of cal king with spots all the way down the back. But your corns top them hands down.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks, I like the Kings too. Something tells me pinning down these traits in any snake is near impossible but having these cool variants is still a lot of fun.

Thanks Tim. I honestly don't know much about these traits but if I am not mistaken Motleys can produce striping but stripes don't often produce motleys? Great article in Reptiles again Tim. I like your writing style. And your snakes.....hehe Tom Stevens

Tom,

I really don't know how that motley/striped business works either. I plan on breeding motleys next year for the first time. If I were you, I'd try to produce another motley just like that one, but of the opposite gender (easier said than done!) and then breed them togather.

Thanks for the compliment on the "Reptiles" article - that was one crazy trip.

That Hypo Lavender Mot is very nice, but the Anery. Mot with that side striping is SWEEEEET !!

Hey Walter I have to agree! I love the Anery. I traded Brad Lichtenhan some Gophers for the parents of these babies and they were known to be het Lav. Low and behold knockout Anerys and the one Hypo Lav appeared too. Talk about a bonus! The Striped Aztec Reverse Okeetee recently shed and will be ready for pics tomorrow. I will be posting some of him asap. Tom Stevens

Beautiful corns Tom. I'm a big fan of Motleys myself. That motley hypo lavender you have is stunning.
