Help with pricing of baby corns....>>>>

repzoo44 Jun 22, 2004 09:55 PM

I am hoping to retire off of my clutch of 16 sssoooooooo... but seriously, I am expecting to have normal corns het for albino unless mom turns out to be het albino. The dad is a candy cane. It is my understanding that you cant have a het for candy cane since it is actually just a selectively bred albino but I saw one of the bigger websites that does. They have het albino for 20.00 and het candy cane for 40.00. The only thing I can think of is that the snakes would be normal and het for a VERY NICE amel. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks for playing.

Candy canes as you know are an on going project. By breeding one to say a Miami phase corn with dark red blotches and a very light ground color, you very well might get some nicer c.canes after taking the hets and breeding them back to other C. canes.On the other hand if you breed your c.cane to a random normal you might be taking a step backwards.I have a few c.canes here and all of them are nervous snakes and one is just aggresive as heck. I suspect this could come from to much inbreeding.Some outbreeding would of done those produced from that line a lot of good.
