Frosted

I've heard of frosted and wanted to make sure I understood. I have a few hypo's that I would say are frosted. Please correct me if I'm mistake. Here is a pic of my best one. Now its the white "ticking" in the saddle that makes if frosted correct?

Thank you Marsha for this beautiful boy.

I would consider your Hypo to be frosted. It looks like your snow is too. BTW I LOVE ZOOT!!!

Thanks I think I have a few frosteds in my group. I love the look. Zoot is a favorite of mine as well. He will be breeding next year and I have some beautiful girls lined up for him. Been working with Marsha and another friend of mine in Ca on some mutual projects then I have a few of my own that I can't wait to see how it goes.

HMMM I look forward to seeing those babies. I love how they look but haven't invested the money into one yet.

I am personally very careful calling anything frosted. Yes, it is a selectively bred look in corn snakes, but it is usually a more extreme "whitening" of the saddle color. Your hypo shows a more common look found in many corns. Also, many frosted corns are actually hybrids with a gray rat snake.

Oh WOW, I did not know that. That explains a lot for me. Thank you so much for sharing that.

Ya when I hear "frosted corns" I always assume they are gray rat hybrids, but thats just me.

Yep, I have a breeding pair of frosted hybrids and some of their babies. It has to be extreme frosting on a pure corn before it should be called 'frosted'

Here is a couple pics of my hybrid frosted babies from back in 09. I also have a frosted amel corn (100% corn) but those pics are on my lap top which my hubby broke! lol
