The Extra Ingredient in Corals & Salmons

snakepunk Jul 22, 2012 08:45 AM

I believe this corn is possessing the extra ingredient used to make corals/salmons. It's also het for Strawberry, Motley, and Amel.

My friend Jim Stelpflug at SW Wisconsin Reptiles gave me this animal a few years back. Jim is the originator of the corals/salmons corns, as well as the strawberry corns.

It's been determined from outcrossing that the coral/salmons are strawberry and anery (plus amel for the snows), but all the ones "built from scratch" just don't look the same. Selective breeding has been attributed to the difference, but from my own experience and what others are reporting I think there's a dominate/co-dominate gene at play.

Have you bred this one yet? Ant pics of offspring?

Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!

What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!
