Great I thought he was..I was not sure of Powders # tho. haha
well I dunno about that..maybe with some help..(*hint*hint)
but I am excited to see your "powder" grow up, and ....My 2 boys from that clutch..uh, the coral snow and the Ghost....as well.. I can't wait till they hit that 3 year mark.
They are just so big right now....I am excited!
Thanks again...

No, you have not crossed the boundaries. Asking a question like this about "Powder" is perfectly fine. I would give you some comparison pictures if I had a Blizzard to compare it to. What makes it difficult is the fact you need to see it in person to see the real differences. Kind of hard to do that when your there and i'm here. The first thing I can think of as a difference is that just up until rescently he was pretty much translucient in color. He was basically colorless when he hatched. Also there is a strange wash that gives the appearence of a soft layer of powder all over him. Again, you would really have to see him in person. The next thing I am noticing is the odd pale blue coloration he is getting in his eyes. I have never seen a Blizzard with anything other then a pink/red eye. Why I don't have a Blizzard in our collection is beyond me. If everything goes right this year I should have Blizzards and possibly even a couple of Whiteouts. If "Murphy" is good to me this year and everything turns out fine I will definitely be able to get comparison pictures then. It will be cool to see first hand the differences between the morphs.
Jay

thanks for your reply... i remember the fresh out of egg photos as a see-thru kind of pinkish snake. Kind of reminded me of a whiteout in a way, but different somehow. it really would be cool seeing it in person, but not many "high end" corn breeders in the VA area. i hope to change that one day just not anytime soon. hehe... thanks again for your reply... and the way you describe the critter sounds interesting. Maybe the guys and gals on Kingsnake.com should get an update? i know a lot of people there dont come on here for some reason?? i dont want them feeling left out on this pretty lil critter

I have never posted this guy on Kingsnake.com. So, unless there is someone else out there with this same morph, which I don't think there is but I could very well be mistaken, then they must have posted it. I was wondering if you could post me the link so I can see. I would really like to know if there is someone else out there with this same morph. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I have been gone for a while.
Interesting, the mention of pale blue eyes, I immediately thought of my Leucistic Texas Rat Snakes. They have pale blue eyes and a patternless white body.
I know that Leucism has nothing to do with Powder, but I just found it to be interesting.

Ciao

any update pics Jay? What are the eyes looking like now?

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking... maybe you discovered cornsnake leucism??? That would be FAN-TAS-TIC. That has been on my wishlist for when they're hopefully produced. I've been thinking that leucism was not possible in cornsnakes... I really hope that's what you've found here!

I will get some after he sheds. I think it is very strange/interesting how he is turning out.

This is not leucisim. Leucism is a mutation that is cause by pair a certain single recessive gene. This snake is a combination of four different genes (quad homo). Amel + Anery + Charcoal + Hypo. Wishful thinking though. If Leucism was prominant in Cornsnakes I would prefer they had a black eye. Could you imagine an all white Corn with jet black eyes?
CRAZY!

Jay

Wow, that WOULD be fantastic... well either way, I'd love to have one of these some day. I'm following this thread like a HAWK, lol! I'm so happy for you that you produced something so cool! I can only hope to be so lucky one day .

I´m a sucker får white corns. so this guy really hit me were it feels!

looking forward to seeing this guy grow and some day breed!!

Well damn! I dunno how I missed this thread 'til now...

I have a serious thing for whitesnakes, I am hoping to produce pearls this year. I'm also planning to get a lucy black rat this year AND I'm trying to get the genes in line to make lucy bps...

This guy is something I need to make for myself, that's for sure. I have the genes in the pool, just gotta get em mixed up. Should be two generations for me if I get lucky.

AWESOME SNAKE JAY!
