Awe that's trash! I hope you didn't pay much for it? I'll be glad to help you, and take it off your hands.

No really that is a very pretty snake. I like the peach color it has and the bright yellow near the belly. I don't really know what is in it to give that peachy color, but it is definately nice!

Is that really a ghost stripe? I don't see any anery in it. It looks like it's got some other genes floating around. Regardless, it's a beautiful snake.

Yes, It was sold to me ass a ghost stripe but that peach color is amazing. You can see on the head and tail how the color is starting to coem through. I am defaintly not complaining just trying to see if any of the experts on here can explain it

I think they already told you on the first thread. There could be a number of things that may have given that snake a peach tint. The only one who can tell you for sure is the guy who bred it. There really isn't any other real answer, really! All the experts can do is guess. It is very pretty, and if it were me, I would do my best to track down the breeder and see if he has a mate from the same litter to sell you, or at least ask him what's in the soup?

Yes, a very nice looking corn indeed!. But I would DEFINITELY track the breeder down and ask him VERY SPECIFICALLY what he bred together to produce that snake, and what if anything it is also possibly heteroxygous for as well. For me, it is absolutely IMPERATIVE to know every single genetic detail(and then some) of any snake I own, and work with.

No such thing as "too much" information when it comes to snakes in the collection..LOL!

Thanks so much for the advice guys! I am going to call the breeder today and find otu what exactly is going on.

Sure thing!

Yeah, that is what I would certainly do

That could be a hypo-strawberry ghost maybe? It's got the yellow sides like an anery with the pinkish tint like that of a strawberry. The stripe down the center would indicate stripe-motley. Definitely a smokin snake you got there. I'd love to know what exactly what genes are present.

I read an article on another web site about some peach Corns and some one speculated that it may have been a cross between Caramel x Lavender x Hypo! But there were no pics, and it's just speculation! Again it's really anybody's guess.

I spoke to the breeder and his only respose was that he has some very peach colors in his ghost line. Also looking at S. Mt's website there is a picture of a very colorful male. So maybe thats what it is.

A very peach color to the ghost line could indicate it's got the strawberry gene which would make your snake a coral ghost striped-motley. The only way to know for sure would be to breed it out. Regardless of what it is you've got a beauty.

Are you sure it's the starwberry gene in the coral ghosts?

Nothing is definitive, but the 'strawberry' gene has been mentioned with the very pink coral ghosts and coral snows. It's already been proven that 'some' coral ghosts have the strawberry gene. Based on the breeders comments that it was a ghost, my only guess for the pinkish tones is the strawberry gene. But like I said in my previous post, the only way to know for sure is to breed it out to a strawberry.

Yeah, I'm not trying to apposed you I am just trying to clear up the whole strawberry phenomena. I have posted threads in several website forums asking about the strawberry gene and I have gotten some very interesting responses. Some who have been toying with the pink corns already have stated that it may not be the strawberry gene at work in all cases. It get's pretty cloudy the deeper you go but even those are pink not peach. I think there may be something to the guys who say it's a combo of Amber and Hypo Lavender, but again all spekulation. I picked up a strawberry male motely het for anery, and some ghosts, some very pink, and I'll see whay I can find out. But some guys are way ahead of me already, and they have conflicting results. Either way I really like the pink ghosts!

.........exactly!

conflicting results for sure. Many don't know which are truly results from the "strawberry" gene, or simply extremely pink snakes from selective line-breeding, and some are more than likely combinations of both. Seems like there are so many different lines of variable looking pink snakes out there, that it virtually mind-numbing at this point..LOL!

As you know, I have also read many countless feet of threads from many different people that have been involved, and it is indeed a "jigsaw puzzle" as far as knowing very much about it at all as of yet.
