Try the milk snake forum, there are plenty of hondurensis X polyzona crosses pictured there. As for corn/hondo, etc maybe Bluerosy can help??

here is an F1 hondoXcorn . Of course the F1 's never look that good. It is the F2 that produce spectacular babies.

1/4 hondo and 3/4 corn

anery cornXhondo

1/4 hondo and 3/4 corn

1/4 hondo and 3/4 corn



Honduran X amel Florida lemon king








and a personal fav that Phil got from me:

a Japanese customer purchased this one:

Something I thought I would just throw in. NOT a hybrid but baby glossy snakes. Why anyone has not used these to breed into corns ect is beyond me. The glossy snake reminds me of a western version of the corn anyway.

Those are beautiful, as always! Send me a glossy and I'll try to cross it with a corn.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming season, I may only be able to make one cross, but if i do I think it will be really nice.

Here's a picture of one of my Jurassic Milks I got from Bluerosy...

First off, all of those animals are awesome.. But I especially like the anery corn x hondo and the Honduran X amel Florida lemon king. What do animals like this usually run? I have no colubrids of any kind but I could see picking up some that look like the above 2 I mentioned.. Thanks

Most of the pic you saw are from corndurans that are 1/4 hondo and 3/4 corn. They are ready to breed this upcoming spring and I am breeding those corndurans back into reccessive anery-hypo and albino hondurans . Hopefully some of the anery and albino genes are allelic. Well find out soon.

Price will really depend on what they look like. This is all really brand new to the hobby. Now a nice honduran x florida lemon king will run you between $100-? and up$ depending on what it looks like. The corndurans I will be breeing to t5he hondiurans will produce babies that will be quadruple or maybe higher reccssive traits. SO price will be determined then.
Or I may hold onto all of them

I agree with everything Randy T said in his post.... and thanks for your answer. Was also wondering about the glossy's in your pic's. They look sorta anery or is it just my eyes? Did you breed them as well.... and, do you have one for me while I'm waiting for the Anery corn X Hondo babies to arrive?

Sorry MH, I don't have any glossys. I did produce those but they are not anery or anything, just regular normals. They make great pets if you can purchase captive born babies (which is very hard to find) and like all snakes look better as captive raised adults compared to WC. The neonates also took live pinks right away. Most of the wildcaught glossys I have were lizard eaters and languished in captivity due to the parasites from the lizards.

For the life of me I cannot understand why these snakes are not more popular. They really are similar to cornsnakes when you get captive borns. They are big enough to eat pinks when born, are calm and grow like weeds. Go figure?

Somebody PLEASEbred these to some snow corns or some other multiple reccssive corn. It will really liven up the color of corns.

Thanks Bluerosy. They sure look different than what I'm used to seeing. It's like I can't see any of the tan or orange in them and the pattern is smaller or something. And it looks like they have a mask like the sonoran gopher that raided my mouse house a few months ago. Anyway, they are nice looking glossy's and also can't understand why these snakes aren't bred more often. I have had one for two years. WC though. Ate pinks for a little while but then totally quit on me no matter how I served them to him. Even offered the sucker a beer to go along with it and he still refused. So now he's on lizards. Had to. Anyway, mine has the best personality and I love the way he shines.

You said you bred yours. Are they hard to breed? I heard someone was working with albino's but I haven't seen any yet.

MissHisssss.

I think that Don Soderberg (South Mountain Reptiles) will have albino glossys next year. But it would be cheaper to "make" your own by crossing an albino corn into one.

bluerosy Nov 17, 2004 08:20 PM

"try the hondo forum" LMAOROTF!

Brandon Osborne Nov 17, 2004 09:17 PM

awesome! Honduran x Polyzona!lol. I've been saying that for year's and people bash me because I'm just telling the truth. There are no pure albino hondurans, unless someone finally caught one. But then they probably bred it to one of the polyzona crosses.

Totally off the topic but i just noticed your user name. very interesting, is that your actual name? the reason i ask is cuz I've heard the name on an Eminem a.k.a Slim Shady album more than a few times
Please don't take any offense to it, I'm just curious.

Katt Nov 18, 2004 10:44 PM

I love that anery corn x hondo. Is that F1? Wow!!! The blk and one ones are the best looking! Great contrast!

Interesting how even with 1/4 influence there's still an influence.
