Here's the first two of 30 to hatch. These ones hatched during the night last night. Mom is Amelanistic Het Anery & Dad is Amelanistic Het Sunglow. This is Mom's 2nd breeding year, and Dads First.

Congrats on the hatchlings... That first one looks like it has some nice aztecing on it's back.


Oh, and you do know that a snake can't be het for sunglow right? It's a line bred trait, not an inherited trait.

Thanks! These hatchlings are our very first corn hatches.

Yeah I wandered what that was called on the first hatchling. I started to wander about the Sunglow being inherited or not. Reading other posts last night I found out that it's not inherited.

We bought our male from a breeder last year that told us he was het for Sunglow. I just took him for his word on it and never thought any different.
 
It is my understanding that the fact that Sunglows are not from a specific locus on a chromosome does not mean that some of the hatchlings may turn out to look like Sunglows, although the chances are much smaller than if he had been bred to another Sun.. The guy who sold him to you as a het, was either ignorant of corn. genetics or intentionally misleading. Either way CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Thanks!!
It's hard for me to believe that he intentionally mislead us, but he did seem knowledgeable about corn genetics so I guess it's possible.

I'd really love to see pics of the aztec'y' one after it sheds, that has to be one of my favorite pattern morphs.. another one that doesn't seem to follow the norm when it comes to hets.

If that amel you posted in the other thread is the father to these babies, you do have a chance of ending up with some very bright animals. He is a beautiful critter, and he's got very little white (if any at all from what I can see in the picture) on him.

It might be the seller (or breeder) just meant that he came out of sunglow lines as opposed to being het sunglow too. Sometimes people take shortcuts when explaining the genetics of the snake(s) they are selling which makes for some confusion later down the road at times.

Just out of curiousity, what does the belly look like on #3? Does it have checkers on the belly? (They'd be clear at this stage or maybe a very pale yellow.) Cause that pattern on that one is very nice.

For sure post a pic of first one 'aztez'y' once it sheds. Yes the amel I posted in the other thread is Dad to all these little ones. He hardly has any white on him, other than a little bit on the underside of his head/neck.

I'll have to look at #3 again, but I think it doesn't have checkers...with out looking again I think most of these ones don't.

As far as the breeder we got Dad from, that very well could be what he was meaning, but phrased it as Het Sunglow.
 
Here's some more pics...

Well all of our babies have hatched from this clutch. We ended up having 13 of 15 hatch. We're pretty happy with that esp since this was our males first year breeding. :dancer:
