looking for a nice young male salmon snow price range looking to spend about 250
I believe I have what you are looking for but... Please define in terms of genetics what you are expecting. For example: Anery Amel Strawberry or Anery Amel Hypo or Anery Amel Strawberry and RedCoat/Red Factor(maybe, I say this because it hasn't been proven yet) or a very pink snow.

PS-Dave P. bought JMG's collection. He and SW Reptile, who originated the name, are the two people the use that nomenclature exclusively to describe their line. Dave P. would be a good place to search for good color stock.
quick genetic question if this gene is co-dominate then will i get a third morph from crossing the two?

...It goes along with something a friend was talking about. Maybe strawberry is just hypo A with some form of codominant "red factor" hitching a ride? Just a thought...
I know that the Strawberry Snows and Anerys I have from Chuck and Connie are sans the Hypo gene. And they are that lovely rich pink. Therefore I believe Strawberry is a stand alone Hypo gene. But with that in mind, I am testing (teasing apart) the "Salmon"/"Red Factor/Red Coat" corns this year and most probably next as well. It is my hypothesis that the Salmon and Coral Ghost lines are not just Anery and Amel with a Strawberry brightener. I think that along with selective breeding we are seeing the addition of an epistatic genetic factor like Red Coat/Red Factor. Here is were I see the hitch hiker you talk about. It is a long slow laborious process with lots of "waste" products but it's why I'm into corn snake breeding.
I agree that outsourcing is counter indicated in a line bred morph. So much effort has been put into getting a given look that the addition of "new" genetics has an adverse effect on the visual outcome.
If you want Salmon Snow offspring you should buy Salmon Snow stock. No one would breed a Champion German Shepherd with a Puppy mill mutt and expect Rin Tin Tin, right? lol

Terri do you remember if Chuck and Connie's are from Jim Stepflug? Marcia aka "Poppycorns" has reported finding four (or more) different "red factors" from the various "pink" lines, per Don S. They do not "play nice" together either apparently :shrugs:...
(I hate reading this thread; it makes me wish I had room for just one more project!!) (In stripe!!)
...real good at playing ignorant :rofl:
