Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Last year, my corn snakes bred (accident on my part). I didn't think they would just breed on their own. I caught them mating and seperated them the next day. I ended up doin' the research and all that and the female laid 11 eggs (only 9 hatched though).

Male - Amel
Female - Pastel Motley

Here are the pics...

2 I kept - 1 month old

7 that went to pet store (Few weeks old)

I was told the 2 I kept are Hypo and Charcol (they are also both females too). The "charcol" one has lightened up alot. It's not black anymore. You can see how much lighter it got when you see the one in the last pic compared to the month old picture. Now it looks almost Anery. I had 2 that color and they was identicle.

Last question is does that make the babies "Het" for anything? I did pick up a 08 Male Butter Motley. Let's say I bred him with one of my babies (in a few years), would they produce and motley babies?

Thanks,
Steve

Ghosts, hypos and anery.

The babies would all be het for motley, and amel.
Hypo and anery are what makes ghosts, so all your snakes
(if not hypo or anery - or both) would be het for hypo and anery as well.
