I was stumbling through the chat rooms on my great AOL..and i came across a fellow who was talking about his new Corn Morph... He called it a Tiger Corn.. Weary of another bragger for no reason I asked him to see some pics of this so called Tiger Corn.

Well I be damned Here is the link to the pics and the site..You tell me what u think about this anomily.

Wife says: There U go another snake im leaving. My response: Can u bring me back some pinkies

Great looking pattern, that's for sure.
Looks alot like a stripe-motley to me. But those belly checks? Hmmm...well, there are known cases of the occasional checker on a stripe or motley belly.
Not to flame anyone, but I'd probably breed it to some stripes and motleys before I claim a new gene.
I would LOVE to have a dominant motley or stripe gene. Pattern morphs in the F1 regardless of what the snake is paired with?? Sign me up!

it looks like a motley stripe to me. I must of hatched out 10 that looked like that last season at least. Some with the checkers some witout. I have to agree with Joe on that one, breed it to a motley or a Stripe and see what happens. Most likely you will produce more stripe motleys.

which is not a new morph at all.

Tiger retic is codominant, not dominant. That is why the homozygous ones look different from the heterozygous ones.

I would want to see the F1s and F2s from outcrosses to known motleys, stripes, motley/striped, and known "not het for those traits" normals.
