My First New Corn in Years

AllenSheehan Aug 29, 2010 10:00 PM

I picked up this guy a few weeks back in a large lot and I fell in love with him. I have decided to keep him. He is an Anery Motley and the first corn in years I have decided to keep. My question is will his patern continue to fade out or will it stay the way it is currently for the most part. At any rate I now have an excuse to find a cool looking girl for him

There's a line of patternless anery corns that continue to fade with age. That looks like one of them. What a beauty you got there. Congrats!

Yes, they fade - not completely, but enough to make them have less pattern than they did as hatchings.

Those are awesome corns you have there. Dang I could seriously become a corn junky all over again.

Thanks Allen,

They produced some pretty cool offspring this year. Here are a few of my favorites:

I saw them on your site. very cool looking to me. I have ask is that the motley gene that creates the reduction in pattern. I ask because the snake I got above was simply labeled as anery motley. I have another one that has the very redused pattern as well that is a snow and it was also simply labeled as snow motley.
Thanks

I think some of them are striped and have patterns that fade or get broken up; while others are a combination of motley and cubed, with the cubed pattern reduced and/or faded.
