For those of you that have suspected me of photoshopping the colors on the Starburst and Neon Coral Snows, you can see for yourself at Daytona this weekend. Laura will have hers on display at the AwesomeCorns table, located near Lee Abbot's table. I do have some Neon Corals ready to go, and...

I knew something wasn't right when one of the last eggs to hatch in a clutch of opals and lavenders had this little smooshed up head come out:

Here is one of my keeper neon coral snows from last year. And here is one of the line bred neon corals from last year that I named "Rhapsody". We're calling these "Starburst" after the candy. More photos of these are here: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?p=915334#post915334.

I am continuing to line breed several of the types of pink and coral together. I only got 6 eggs from this pairing last year but all the males looked like these. When my friend Rachael (Petpro) saw them she dubbed them "Starburst", after the bright fruit candy, and the name stuck. Everyone...

Here are a couple from this season's clutch. This little one looks a lot like yours! And one of my favorites, this little broadstripe female.

WARNING TO STEPHEN: DO NOT read any further in this post if you don't want me to spoil the punchline for you. These are opals that hearken back to your lines...remember the bright colorful hypo lav I got from you a few years ago? Well, he was bred to my opal "Sweet Pea". I bred one of the...

You bet I was excited when this one shed and these colors popped out. Somehow I don't think this will grow up to be a plain white snake! It's a female and she's have several meals now. What's more, there's a second clutch in the incubator from the same pairing. Sonnet is the granddad and...

I always thought there was something special about the Champagne pink snows. Now I have proof!

I'll play too! Here's my big red Fire "Blaze", ready to pop any second now: and my beautiful Lantana, (Sunglow Stripe) not real happy that I bothered her in her nest box. She's got over 20 eggs but only half will be stripe since she was bred this time to one of her sons who is het sunglow...

This '05 coral snow female (Petals) has been bred to the two males pictured with her: a super-pink coral snow (Peaches) and then immediately to Bricks, my paradox Ultramel Anery. I bred Bricks to the same female last year (she is his mother) and got some very pretty Ultramel Anerys het or homo...

Thanks! But we're not quite there yet. Rubicon is a son of SMR's amazing female fire 810. He was darker red on the saddles than his clutchmates and he has grown up to be this dark red beauty: For comparison, here is Cerise, also a daughter of 810, who has the diffusion I am looking for but...

ALAS!!!!!?????? I LOVE the red-to-yellow gradient on a good sunglow stripe! Yours is gorgeous, you shouldn't be regretful not one bit! I think that's what makes them so spectacular! Not that UniquieSnake's fire stripe isn't fantistic, it certainly is, the nicest I've seen. But I will...

For the first one, I would like to know that myself!!! I don't know of any other like this that has shown this much color this young. As for the others, they look a lot like Sonnet did at that age, only better. Here's a not very recent photo of Sonnet, taken last March. He is now a bit...

Sonnet was the favorite Neon x Coral from 2007. I bred him back to his Coral Snow mother in 2008. There were only a few eggs producing 5.1 hatchlings. All of them have the intense coral but this guy's the favorite: Here's an in-the-box shot from November...he really is this color! I also...

Merry Christmas everyone! Those who have been around awhile will remember these pictures from past photo contests, but many of the folks here haven't seen them. Wishing you all a blessed & joyful Christmas!
