Been here awhile
Have to love them.....
I really like the blizzards! Although I have heard from a couple people (one being a breeder) that they tend to be a little more tempermental then other corns. Has anyone else had this problem? Just curious, Lindsay

I have a yearling blizzard female I got this summer. She is probably the most introverted corn I have. She's anything but an agressive feeder, but it's because she's a little scardy-cat; I hope she grows out of it 
She has a ring around her saddles that looks lemon-peel yellow next to her other scales, but it's really a sort of khaki color (if you look at the pic in another thread, or go to imagestation.com (user: herputopia) you can see that the text color is a direct sample of her saddle borders, but they still look lemon yellow!) A strange trick of light in conjunction with the brain trying to compensate for poor "dusk" color recognition.
I doubt you could say that about the majority of blizzards though. For one - look at their lineage? Every blizzard is related to the first amel and the first anery-b. There's no lore about "bad tempered amels". Neither is there any lore (that I know of) that charcoals have any temperment problems either. You'd think there *might* be, if in fact blizzards were a problem morph. Frankly I take all that talk of troubles morphs with a grain of salt. I think the variability between any one random corn snake and any other is far more attributable to personality and environment than to genetics. Look at the variability in personality in a single clutch, and you can see the entire spectrum of corn snake attitude, frrom relaxed and always hungry, to flightly and impossible to train to eat. All this regardless of where the bloodlines came from.
just my 2 cents

I like those "patternless" Blizzards, too bad they don't come in light gray.
Maybe I'll get some blizzards next year when I breed my Charcoal Ghost to my blood het amel/charcoal/anery.
