not sure how it works with other snake species, but the rhinocerus viper has blue (aqua) and light purple. any way to get that in our corns? or does the strict pigmentation of red yellow or black not allow for a blue?

Getting that way. Some of the Lavenders that are coming through are developing the Pastel's pink into a pale purple. Deepen that, cross it with the slatey blue-grey of a really nice Anery....

sweet! i would LOVE a blue and silvery gray background corn 
im trying to learn genetics. I would like to create a stark black and white corn. no grays, no blendings, no hues of any other shade, just black and white, no red or yellow coloration. anery crossed into things with good white backgrounds, snows and blizzards maybe? genetics are so fascinating!

I think you would need the gene for hypomelanism AND the gene for hyPERmelanismwhich seems impossible to me... probably very wrong though since my genetics is a bit rusty....
