"Man Oh Man!" i love that snake, ok i am going to do rich i have too, what in the heck can i do to get a snake like that?! LOL
 
WOW..... is that base color actually <i>white</i>? Amazing looking snake.... wish you could tell us how you made it.... ;)

Hmmm...
That is one AMAZING snake. I never knew a charcoal could be so pretty. I could be wrong... but that pattern sure looks a lot like a line you used to have. ;)
 
Now that is one sharp looking corn! Those saddles all seem to end at about the same point creating a side-stripe effect. I like it alot!
 
I just noticed that this snake looks like an anery okeetee! Man that would be cool! Is there any chance of that idea rich or am i way off?
 
Ooooooo, PRETTY!!!

Rich, you are SUCH a TEASE!!! LOL

Okay, a guess - Charcoal MIAMI?
Don't even know if that's POSSIBLE......

Very cool laterals!

How old was this one at the time of the picture?
 
Hey Rich

What!?...You're corns aren't good looking enough, you have to take sharpie markers to them to make 'em look better?
 
WOW

I have never cared for charcoals but if you start making them like that I wouldn't hesistate to get one!!!
 
Heck, I guess I still have it. But I don't take care of all of the 2003 animals myself, so I haven't really seen it lately.

I did a quick nose count the other day and came up with 1,925 corn snakes. Sheesh! No wonder I've lost my mind!
 
Rich, I know it has been a few years now, but are you still turning this morph out? was it a one of a kind? just curious as I am new to the site here and this Corn is just incredible! any adult pics? Thanks

Wow, thanks for bringing this to the top... this animal is just dang heart stopping.. sure would love to know what happened to it!
 
Actually I have a few like this. There seems to be something lurking in a gene pool I have that causes a general lightening effect in whatever other genetic traits it mixes with. Unfortunately it seems rather unpredictable, at least to my poor tired brain. And for the most part, I get only females. I do have one breeding sized male, but he didn't fare very well last year in the pairings with him.

I tend to get oddities like this every year. I think it is only after you are breeding a large number of animals of the same species that you can begin to grasp the diabolical nature and frequency of spontaneous genetic mutations. You have to wonder how many things like this pop up in the wild as a single individual that luck just doesn't favor them surviving to produce more of them. Or perhaps the trait itself that they carry is just not favorable to help them survive. I would imagine a dayglow purple cornsnake wouldn't last 48 hours in the wild.

But it sure is interesting watching the results in our own little personal test tube collections.
