Is it true?

I was recently contemplating why the paradox/chimera Gummi Bears are my favorite. Probably because they're rare, though not necessarily attractive. Nor particularly tasty.
Cakes and Corn Snakes, so many flavors. Something for everyone.

You can't have them all.

It's kinda sad. I want them all! But I'm trying to decide on my favorite from each major "color" to basically have a nice range in a smaller number of snakes. None of my friends or family will know what they're missing out on, and I will have to settle for drooling over all of yours. This is PARTLY why I'm wondering about color changes. If I can only have one "red" or "yellow" snake, I want to pick one that's going to stay essentially that color.

I also find genetics interesting, although I have no intention of breeding now or in future. (which almost seems to make me the odd man out???) Because of my background in animal rescue (dogs and cats mostly) and have had to see how many animals are born only to be mistreated, abused, and eventually usually put down, I have strong feelings about who - and why - should and should not be breeding any animals. I will reserve comment here, for now, because I am new to "this town" and know so little about the reptile world in general... but I imagine it is not so different.

By the way Smigon, I love that you have a corn named Lessthanthree. I laugh every time I see that! It's great!

IMO, the gene that shows the most color change in just about every morph combination throughout the snake's lifetime has to be anery. And the variation that can be seen is just you "simple" anery corn alone is amazing. That has to be why it's my favorite gene. While a snake that stays one color throughout it's life is nice, seeing one that changes into a new, just as beautiful color, several times, is even better..IMO.

Interesting! I just thought they were all different colors from each other, didn't realize that they also changed as they aged. So I wonder then if my ultramel anery will display this? That would be exciting!

You'll have fun with the ultramel anery. They get this crazy wash of yellow over their necks and heads as they mature.
