    Dappled Corn Snakes (Striped Leopard Motley)

    I agree that in the absence of genetic fingerprinting (which hopefully is coming soon), testing this potential mutation against Motley and Stripe in a thorough traditional "test-breeding" scheme is quite daunting. Given the previously mentioned allelic but dominant relationship between Motley...

    Dappled Corn Snakes (Striped Leopard Motley)

    Motley is so weird! The amount of variation in that single mutation, it's allelic but dominant relationship to Stripe, and what it does in combo with other mutations... I think there is more to Motley than we suspect :).

    Can anybody help me figure out the morph I have?

    Def Tessera... not seeing Ultra, or Ultramel. Congrats on your new baby :)

    Scales turning white?

    Personally, I've only had this happen with males (no BloodReds btw) during breeding season, that were in tubs that were no more than ~6 inches high. Once I switched those individuals to tubs with some height (12-14 inches) and some branches to climb they all recovered.

    Very cool project, and the results so far are beautiful! :)

    Single scales dropping

    Are these perhaps just scales that did not come off when your snake last shed? When the single scales fall off, do they leave behind fully formed and normally colored scales, or is there a space left behind where a scale should be?

    Burmation

    I brumate breeding size adult Corns at 55F (~13C) for 10 weeks (typically Dec. thru mid-February). If the temps start getting too warm (i.e., consistently above 60F; ~16C), as they are now where I am located (SE USA), I warm them back up. If you can't keep the temp below 60F then they will...

    oldest corn snake?

    My oldest is an Okeetee Tessera named Rocky that was born in 2013, and is still an active breeder :)

    Robots Suck!

    Why is Fauna Classifieds not overrun with ridiculous ads?

    Robots Suck!

    Is there anything that can be done to keep the robots from completely overrunning this site with posts that are not related to Corn Snakes?

    Something similar to Eastern indigo?

    A Texas Indigo would be another good option. Basically the same snake as an Eastern Indigo, but much cheaper and no permit required :). I've seen some TX/Eastern hybrids for sale on occasion that look almost exactly like an Eastern as adults, and supposedly they are very similar as far as...
