Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Ok, my biological clock is all messed up right now, being on third watch and all, but I didn't think I was that out of touch with reality until I read a few posts on this forum! There's been two terms mentioned briefly that I'm at a loss on. What is a phantom cornsnake? Kel mentioned that one under the "Ghost Corn X ? = what cool morph" thread. Then Darin Chappell goes on to mention the coral corn snake just after that post! Am I really out of touch, or are these relatively new morphs? Got any pictures of either to post up?

Help a cop out, we on third watch don't get out much!

Hi AJ - good questions! I can only answer theoretically on one point. A Phantom would be a mix of Hypomel Type A and Charcoal (Anery Type B).

Hey AJ,

Yes, the phantom corn is what many are calling the hypo A and charcoal combination. The name is similar to ghost in connotation, but distinguishes it from the anery A component.

Don Soderberg was the first, I believe, to call the hypo snow corn a "coral snow." There is something about the addition of hypomelanism that enhances the pinks of a snow corn so that it is very coral in coloration. Many lines now being produced offer very nice animals.

Hope that helps a bit...
