This is my controversial Cornsnake Hermes. All three of his mates had deformed babies, and I'm hoping to prove it was environmental in nature, and not due to some defective genes found inside this snake. Over the course of those four clutches (one double-clutched) I learned that he was heterozygous for Anery A and for Amelanism. Next year I might breed him to one female, or i might give him the year off.

Here's a nice picture of Aphrodite. She double clutched this year, 10 eggs in the first clutch, 4 eggs and a slug in the second clutch (one one of the seemingly perfect eggs never developed veins and eventually rotted away). None of her offspring were very good, most were deformed and/or dead in the egg. Hopefully the cause was environmental and won't be repeated and next year's clutch will be a better one. She was sold as het Motley, of which I saw no signs, and she showed herself to be het anery and het amel. Next year I'm crossing her to my snow motley male. If she's het motley, half the offspring will be motley, and I should get normals, anerys, amels, and snows.

Next year I will most likely choose the following pairings:
Pairing #1:
Zeus (Snow Motley) x Aphrodite (Normal Het motley, amel, anery A)
Anticipated offspring: snow, anery, amel, normal, and all the above in motley
Pairing #2:
Zeus x Athena (Anery Striped)
Anticipated Offspring: 100% Striped/Motley, 100% Anery unless Athena is het for amel, in which case there should be some snow striped motleys also.
Pairing #3:
Hermes (Normal Striped het anery A, Amel) x Hera (Anery A poss. het motley, hypo, amel)
Anticipated Offspring: Normals, Anery, and lots of possibilities depending on what recessive genes the parent snakes carry.
Pairing #4:
Cornelius (Normal-sicle het amel) x Cleo (Creamsicle)
Anticipated offspring: Normalsicles and creamsicles.
