hi all, last year i purchased a male snow corn from a well known local breeder, He told me everything about it and i wrote it down... somewhere, anyways my question is his pattern. instead of the normal saddles he has these x's like (>< >< >< >

dont think the entire question posted, is there a specific name for a pattern like this? ty

>>dont think the entire question posted, is there a specific name for a pattern like this? ty

it would be much easier to judge with a picture...BUT... not all patterns, designs and colors are the same. You can line up ten different snows and have ten entirely different looking animals, just as you can line up ten normals or most other morphs or "types"
.I doubt there is a name for what you are seeing just a typical case of individuality

I wonder if it might not be a motley? Being that it is a snow, it may give the appearance of criss cross lines when in fact it is the connected saddles? Just a thought.

OK now I'm thinking it may not even be a Motley? What you are seeing is because the snake is a snow it's almost like beeing snowblind, lol. Those X's are really the borders where you would see black on a normal snake but it does seem to have some diffussion going on mabey? Can you take a pic of the whole animal, maybe in someones hands where we can see it's sides also? A full body pic would be very helpfull. Looks very nice regardless.

some more of him, ty

and 1 more, ty

and last one, srry still working on how to post multiple pics on 1 post, ty steve(Scareptiles)

I looked at all three pics. It definately has something going on, with the sides. Almost some striping? It very well may be a Motley? What ever it is, it's beautiful! Got some nice pinks in there too!

it's hard to tell but it just looks like a snow with a lot of color.
I don't really see anything that different in the side pattern just a lot of yellow a picture from a little ways back that actually shows the whole snake might help...I know ..pictures pictures pictures....LOl...but we're trying

>>i think i may have prdocued snow tessera's from this guy and his female is a bright yellow striped snow, im unsure still i will post pics of this clutch later today as they are still comeing out.

from everything I can see I'm still leaning towards "normal" snow.
I use the term normal, loosely, because it does has a lot of color but I still don't really see anything in the pattern that would have me think anything like motley. As far as what it may be het for, now that's an entirely different story.
Why not give the breeder a call or shoot him an e-mail, I'm sure he'd be willing to give you whatever information he still has on it.
