Butter? from Serpenco

Rich,

I got this 02 butter from Serpenco BUT had several people tell me that its not a butter. Instead I am told its a butter outcross or high yellow amel.

Any thoughts?

I love the snake regardless, but for breeding purposes would like to know if it will produce butters if breed with a butter female.

If you got it from me, and I sold it as a Butter Corn, then it is a Butter Corn. Put it next to an Amelanistic Corn and then snap a photo of it. Your photo makes it look very dark. Is there any orange on it? Sometimes the blotches can be a very dark yellowish color, almost butterscotch looking. But there is no orange nor red on a Butter Corn.

Sounds like you ran into a herd of instant experts out there. Ask them exactly how many Butter Corns that have actually seen in person.

If you still have the ID number, send that to me and I will look up the parentage for you. But I have NEVER mistaken an Amelanistic corn for a Butter Corn. Not even once.

BTW, didn't you email me about this a while back? This all sounds familiar to me as well as your photograph.
 
Re:

I don't know who you've been talking to, but it looks like a butter corn to me. Doesn't even look like a regular amelanistic to me. I don't know where they're getting that from at all.

Looks just like a larger version of my '02 Serpenco butter corn:

WOW

Rich,

Thank you for your reply! I thought it had to be a butter especially since I have never ever seen an amel with such high yellow coloration. The ID# from the invoice was egg022195 but it doesn't matter since I love it and its doing AWESOME! One of my best feeders and fastest growers. I also got a blizzard and hypo het amber from you that are both doing great as well.

I feel that I lucked out with such a high yellow butter corn....he's a keeper!

Keep those great corns coming.
 
I did some Gamma correction on the picture and yes, that definatly looks Butter. I remember seeing the picture for the first time a while ago thinking 'What a special Amel'. ;)

cool

thanks marcel, that made it a lot clearer...how did you do that?

its amazing how much diff a photo quality can be w/a little altering!

Its one heck of a bright yellow butter...i am curious what the parents look like....??

thank goodness i don't live in florida, otherwise i'd be spending/wasting my days away at rich's facility! .....lol

i could never ever get bored with as many corns as he has!
 
That is most definitely a Butter. Like Taceas said, "Who have you been talking to??" :eek:

I have 8 Butters. They vary from a light, neon yellow to a brownish-yellow in the saddles. Here is a Butter Motley that may actually be darker than yours.

If I had to guess.........

The pic viewed at home on my pc looks amel.
The same pic viewed at work looks Butter.

Opinons of pics over need to be taken with a grain salt.

P.S. Not that I'm at work goofing off playing on the internet! ;)

HERE is ANOTHER PHOTO

THE PHOTO I POSTED EARLIER IS SLIGHTLY OLDER. THIS ONE WAS TAKEN TODAY.

WHEN YOU SAY IT LOOKS AMEL...IS IT B/C THE DARK YELLOW BLOTCHES ARE SHOWING UP AS A REDDISH COLOR ON THE PC MONITOR?

Yup........

Here at home those saddles appear to be an orangy brown. Keep in mind that Butters can vary quite a bit from light yellow to yellowish/orangy brown. My Butters are on the light side.
