Favorite corn in your collection?

I'm sure this thread has been done before, but here goes. I know it's hard, but what is your favorite corn in your current collection, and why? It doesn't have to be high end, have multiple mutations, or even any mutations at all! Post a picture!

It's hard for me to pick favorites, but in a hypothetical situation where I had to sell all my corns except one, I would probably keep this little guy (hypo orchid). He's sweet as can be, and who doesn't love a purple animal? (In reality I practically had to draw his name out of a hat with several of my favorites in it!)

 
Hmm ... Yeah, really hard to chose! But I think I'd have to say my favorite corn snake is Max, my Tessera. He is gorgeous and has a wonderful temperament to boot.

I think i will have to pick Amara my Butter. She is so sweet and has a wonderful temperament.

George ! He is our male adult snow corn. He is so passive and affectionate (yeah I know). The kids love him at school. He loves the girls ha-ha. I can pair him up with ANY snake and he will mate with her. Besides that, He's priceless to us as a pet. :)

This is Reyna. She is probably still my favorite even though I have others that might be considered more high end. But she has a special place in my collection for being my first project snake.

The story behind this girl is that I wanted to combine silver queen ghosts and striped ghosts. So I bred a striped ghost to a hypo het anery snake from Serpenco's silver queen lineage, then held back a 1.1 and paired them together to produce her. She was the only striped ghost in the clutch. I'm hoping to find an old school silver queen male for her some day, to continue the project.
(BTW she is related to the female that was able to produce female cinders -a niece- and might get worked into that project as well)

I have to chose just one?! That's tough...I have always wanted a blood red from Don Soderberg and was lucky enough to grab a low pie sided blood red from him earlier this year and she is a stunner, although I hope to have one of his old school BR someday also...She has a bit of a 'tude but she is slowly getting better...My show stripe is incredibly sweet and always has been so she may be my "favorite" as far as personality goes, and my lavender is just a plain brat lol...he has always been a hateling although he doesn't bite me as frequently?
 
Mittens is my current "favorite" but I guess that depends on how you define it. I stare at her the most. I like my retired breeders just from the years I've known them and I have about a dozen younger ones that I consider "special," one is a plain ol' hypo. Anyway, here's Mittens:

My favorite that I own and produced is this male (believed to be lavender) scaleless:

Jealous! And it's bizarre what scaleless can do to some morphs. Does that male have ruby pupils?
 
My eyes couldn't tell you. I need to blow up a photo to find any detail like that. I sent one to Don S, who after talking to Stephane, said lavenders hatch blue and turn almost normal in scaleless. You can see on at 23 seconds of this video.

 
Love this thread, I hope it gets lots more replies.

With my limited selection, I'd have to say my favorite as far as morph goes is my cinder with her dark colors and speckled belly, even though she is the one that hides the most. I just love her iridescence.

Personality-wise, I think I'll need to give them a little more time to develop before I can make that decision, but I really do enjoy my ultramel anery's laid-back attitude. She's so relaxed sometimes I have to wonder if she's feeling ok. She does everything at half the speed of the others... when she moves at all! And she generally sleeps out in the open in the highest spot she can find. Here she is at the very top of her viv.

I have a topaz that is like your ultramel anery. She moves like a slug and will gently take a mouse from the forceps and eat it veeeerrrryyy slowly. And that little cinder is adorable!

Thank you! She's quite a bit bigger now, but I don't have another good picture of her belly. :p
