Is bubblegum and coral two different phases or are they marketing names for the same thing?:shrugs:

It is not clear at this time the relationship between bubblegum, coral, champagne and hypo. Test breedings by several people have shown that some are not compatible with each other. Right now it appears there may be several genes at work to make the different kinds of pink. Some of us who are working with the SMR type Coral gene do not believe it is the same as hypo.
I just made this pairing between my neon pink female "Peony" and my SMR Coral Snow "Peaches". Peony is on the left, she is actually brighter than in this photo because if I had gotten the exposure right for her, then Peaches would have been too deep a color.

The brighter pink snake in the center (his name is "Sonnet") was produced by crossing my neon male "Prince" with my coral female "Blossom". All the offspring were colorful but some of them were exceptionally pink like Sonnet.

And not to be left out, here's Minstrel, my new little Champagne Pink male. Yes, he really is that pink!

My little '06 snow girl, Sahara. I don't think she will get a whole lot bigger... she was in rough shape with retained sheds and full of mites when she came to me, and still has occasional (less frequently these days though) regurging issues :(

WOW!!! Super impressive. Do you mind me asking where you got Minstrel from? Is he from Pasco Paul's bloodlines?

That's so sad about Sahara's health. She certainly grew up to be a beautiful snake.

Thanks! Minstrel, along with his equally specatular (for a female) future bride, came directly from Pasco Paul. The neon pinks I got from Stephan Wagner and all the corals came from South Mountain Reptiles (Don Soderberg). The corals range from super bright to very pale. Interestingly, some of the het coral progeny snows from the palest one are surprisingly colorful. This strain of coral is not acting like the standard hypo gene, and could get a new name once we figure out the genetics.
Here's my latest coral addition from SMR. Still trying to come up with an appropriate botanical or music/poetic themed name for her.

All I can say is, WOW! I am hoping to produce pinks/corals like these eventually--time will tell!

How about "Azalea" for your un-named girl? They are blooming around here now, and are just gorgeous--like your girl!
 
Corals are, in some cases, hypo snows. But Bubblegums, Champagnes, etc., and now some Corals, are selectively bred snows.

I agree, they are very beautiful and my favorites!
 
Here is my female 07 NeonxCoral Snow from PoppyCorns! Thanks so much Marsha!

I fell in love Shelly a while back when I saw her pictures on another thread. And your avatar is pretty cool too. It looks like a hidden Mickey.

What pretty pictures of Shelly! I'm so glad you like her and that she's doing well for you. :D

Thank you so much. I just love her colors! Sorry I missed this thread before I guess. Haha it took me awhile to make that av....there were just too many options :) I kept changing it.
When are you getting your Snow?


Marsha. She is doing great. I just love her.:spinner: I'm taking new pics before feeding today.
