can you tell I'm bored, lol! no one else is posting anything so I figured I would. Just took these pics minutes ago! These guys have a glow that gets washed out by the flash. They look so much better in person. They almost have a lava appearance though I know they are not even similar genetically. They also do show some black pigmentation but they have a glow that's hard to capture on film.

2 males

One of the 2 females I kept

closer pic of the female

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"

Sorry! They are some locally collected Corns from very close to my house in Polk County Florida. There seems to be a few different Phenotypes but almost all in this area display an almost hypo look. They are not true hypos but after just one generation some babies look almost perfectly hypo, yet they are not. I say they are not becuase you can still find tiny areas of black pigment. Like this F-1.

Some I have look almost Caramel or Amber and others are very infused with red like a bloodred. Infact I had one f-1 hatch out that looks exactly like a bloodred and I was hoping to do some breeding trials with it but it was a tiny runt and didn't survive. Many have plain bellies or bellies suffused with red or orange. They are a lot of fun to work with and I plan on doing some cool things with them like introducing the sunkissed gene into a couple of them. Here are some pics of some. I'm sure some on this forum are tired of seeing them but since you asked.

I for one am never tired of looking at great snakes! Lee

Yeah I wouldn't get upset if people posted hundreds of pics of their snakes as long as it wasn't the same pics over and over. I've posted these before, that's why I tried to take fresh pics today, lol.

amazing the variability even within a local population - i have some wild caught stock from mobile alabama - some of them are very attractive - never know what you might catch

You have a lot of beautiful animals. I am very intrigued by the 3rd and 2nd to the last photos on there. Are those locality also, or are they crossed with something else?

Do you mean the little runt? That one is a sibling to the ones in the picture below it. They all had plain bellies and the runt even had a gray head and almost looked like a motely. Those are from WC parents. Unfortunately the little runt died. I still have most of his siblings. Here are the parents, dorsal and belly shots.
