That's about all I can think to say about that snake. It is a jaw dropper!

Thanks Rob, They vary quite a bit in a given clutch, but hopefully I can refine the line to make them more like this girl. I have some that are het for hypo that I soooo want to make Crimsons with, but they have been picky eaters and so are growing slower than I had hoped. I may, or may not get to make some this year?

Absolutely beautiful.

Thats the nicest cornsnake I have ever seen. I am still somewhat of a novice but that is a Miami phase right?

I have heard that their offspring don't always produce the same look. Have you ever bred this one and did you get similar looking babies? Just wondering.

Yes she is a miami phase. She is not exactly a Miami locality, but this line has been line bred to produce the best looking Miami phase look! I'm not sure who started this line, but I know the original breeders I hpurchased turned out to also be het for Amel. I got several albino's from this pair. They have been giving me problems getting them to eat pinks consistently, but that varies from one individual to another also. Most of the babies look pretty good, only a few turn out similar to this one, and a few also turn out with a more dirty gray background. I am calling the ones that look like this girl, "Silver Backs". I have three generations so far, so I hope to refine the line and improve on the eating habbits also. For now I am holding most of the babies untill they are eating well, and are well established before I try to sell them. Below are a few examples of some I have hatched, and sold in the past.

Sje fed right away on pinkies, and never slowed down. She is a super Miami. I wish I could say the same for all her siblings, lol.
