I think what you are saying by using the term "Super Salmon" is referring to having two copies of the incomplete dominant Red Factor (RF) mutation. Depending on which naming convention you follow (there really isn't a right or wrong here btw), "Super Salmon" might be considered redundant, as...

Not your Normal Tessera... Sired by a practically borderless 'Yellowjacket' male. To be clear, I'm not sure if 'Yellowjacket' is an actual mutation or a set of line bred traits, but the adult 'Yellowjackets' I have are quite strange looking corns (very yellow (no red), borderless, glossy sheen...

I'd suggest you look here for a vet close you who is qualified to treat snakes: https://members.arav.org/search/custom.asp?id=3661. Hope your snake recovers quickly :)

Could be hormones, or could just be a normal change in behavior as he ages. Personally, I don't think you need to be concerned as unhealthy reptiles will typically hide more than normal, not become more active. Maybe double-check the temps in your enclosure though :)

A photo would be useful, but are we talking about a bulge past his cloaca (where poop exits :), or a bulge before his cloaca? Hemipenes are located posterior to the cloaca at the base of the tail. If the bulge is before his cloaca (body side), then it's likely just poop . The hemipenes can be...

Seems like an overall improvement to me. Just glad the site is up and running :)

The new format looks good and seems to operate quite smoothly. Glad to see the site up and running again!

Nice to see a snake in the Florida news that was released unharmed :) https://www.newsweek.com/snake-tangled-tailwheel-helicopter-1871572

All 4 of the Lavenders I have (photo of one of my males [Ultramel Lavender Aztec; maybe Peach] for eye candy) are without a doubt the most inactive corns I have ever owned. They are seriously the "Ball Pythons" of my collection :). My sample size is quite small though, so I started wondering if...

I'm curious if anyone can provide some info on "Leopard" Motleys... where the line originated, experiences with reproducing that look, etc... Thanks :)

Well this has got to be the weirdest damn thing I've seen in a while! :huh_01: https://www.morphmarket.com/us/c/reptiles/colubrids/corn-snakes/1796161 Anybody else know of other examples of this in Corns (or snakes in general)? If Scaleless were gender determined (it's not of course :)), I'd...

2023 Aztec/Zigzag Corns - Nearly yearlings now so VERY well started. Both are great eaters and are perfectly healthy. Shipping is not included in the quoted prices and will depend on your zip code. Happy to answer any questions :). Reply here or email directly: [email protected]...

Does anyone out there have any detailed (or anecdotal) info on this thing that ECW and BHB Reptiles are calling "Tiger"? BHB is claiming is it a "new proven mutation of genetic striping pattern" (https://www.morphmarket.com/us/c/reptiles/colubrids/corn-snakes/1546193). I'm interested if...

Hi all, I'm looking for 2 male corns (hatchling to ~5 years old). I need a Heliconia (Spector Red Factor) and a Kastanie with >50% aberrant patterning (i.e., Zigzag/Aztec/other weirdness:-) to pair with females of same. Please let me know if you have any available that fit the description...

Hi Rich, I just wanted to inquire about the image upload criteria. I also use Fauna Classifieds and despite the very similar look and function of that site and this one, it seems the image upload criteria are different, as I always end up needing to resize my photos so that this site will...
