This Myrtle bush was in full bloom, and I couldn't pass up the chance to take some pics of my best Miami with it.

Gorgeous snake, and perfect backdrop for a photo shoot! The one closeup on the actual flowers really shows how light the gray is, almost white!

Love that light background color - like the one that the rare, beautiful, S.F. garter snakes have!!!
Is that one het for a S.F. Garter? (Just kidding).
That's a NICE one there - REALLY NICE....
That reminded me of a baby Golden corn in 07' that had a very light background color, much lighter than all his siblings, and of course HE is the one that mysteriously died only about two weeks after hatching.....Here's a pic of him:

Why is it the ones we freak out about, that always seem to get sick or die?

That one looked special for sure!

This often works: next time you get a unique hatchling, say to yourself and it that you do not care and will be happy to sell it. Then it will thrive for you.

I tried it this year with a gorgeous cornsnake baby. It is eating and growing. Tell myself everyday I don't care to keep it.

Yeah maybe that's what we have to do, lol. I had a bay hatch out last year from WC parents that looked like a Motley Bloodred! of course it was a runt and didn't survive.

Yeah, right out of the egg: "Look at that UGLY snake with those bright colors that looks different than its' siblings. Think I'll GIVE that one to my neighbor's kid for FREE, LOL!!!!"
....Hey, it's worth a shot (at this point I'm willing to try just about anything)...

Wow Zee!,....you would never guess in a million years that those would turn into those awesome "Golden corn" phenotypes!

So sad that it passed-on my friend....

Thanks.
I think that one would've probably been the one with the most intense gold blotches too, since it was the lightest colored one.....

"I am an expert on everything, but I know so little and have so much to learn!" -Carsten "Zee" Zoldy-

Yes, that is too bad bro. It seems that some of the most prospective and often unique animals in a clutch are sometimes the one's that don't make it.

Wow Zee! That's a real shame that little guy passed!Do all of the "visual" goldens start out with dark saddles like that one?
Jeff

I have 11 Miami eggs cooking from my original pair. I'll let you know when they hatch.

Definite difference there. Still a very attractive cornsnake. Thanks for the comparison shot.

Yeah, I hear ya there!. I wish I could, but can't risk the communal townhome neighbors seeing it going on(and they would)..LOL!

Too bad I don't still live out where I captured your "Big Bertha" corn, I could do absolutely anything I wanted to there.

"a snake in the grass is a GOOD thing"

I remember now, lol. Your photos are fine the way the are. Your pictures seem to be much crisper than mine. I like the way outdoor pics come out without the flash, but if the animal moves even a little, the pics come out blurry. That second one was with out flash.

Wow, what a beaut. I'm seriously considering adding a Miami or two to my collection soon.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite Corn snake, but I have always loved a good looking Miami, or a Crimson, which is just a hypo Miami.

You have first pick so they should turn out just as nice as that one. I'll just make sure they are eating well, before hand.
