Here is one photo of the original "Golden" corn Terry....

He captured this snake in South Carolina with his son while road cruising some years ago. I saw this animal in person when he brought it to Daytona back in 2007-2008. It did indeed prove-out to be a recessive gene later on when bred to a female he also captured from the same area, and he has since produced hets and "golden" offspring from those successive breedings. He did also have some unfortunate luck with some of the animals due to him being in Iraq for long extended periods. It was QUITE an impressive snake, and this photo does it no justice. It was very golden on the first 2/3rds with a very greenish/gray cast background coloration. It was quite a find!

This original male has since sadly passed away, but he does have some very nice animals descending from him to carry on this interesting trait for the hobby...

As always.........be safe over there Zee, and we all salute the great job you and everyone else there is doing for this country!


cheers, ~Doug
