It's a Cubed corn which has rounded spots instead. The genetics of this little one is Amel Motley het butter & stripe. The mum of this is an Amel Sunspot/Stripe & the dad a Banded Butter Motley. I'll stick up an old pic of the mother to let you see it...

That is AMAZING.

And due to Mr. Jeff Cochran's overwhelming generosity, it appears my corn snake collection will increase soon. Thanks so much Jeff. You even got me thining of building a good size rack.

I am so picky on the morphs I like. What are the genetics behind that?

That's got more contrast than any sunspot I've ever seen.
Did the parents come from Jeff Risher?
Very nice!

Hi, there's no relation to Jeff's Sunspots, the Amel Sunspot mother was picked up here in Ireland & the Butter Mot dad came from Holland. The two times i've bred these unrelated animals i've ended up with 50% of the clutch Sunspots.......

Cool. It's nice to hear that there's more than one bloodline for sunspots. Good luck with your projects!
