Morph Surprise

So as the last of the Sunkissed clutch pipped and hatched I went down the basement this morning and found this. The 'rents were sold as Poss Het Amel, SK and Motley. All possibles proved out but this one was a surprise. I'm thinking it is an Anery Motley but it's pretty light. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I have a lot of animals that I'm not positive as to the morph combo this year. I guess I'll just have a lot of keepers.:shrugs:

Hmmm that would be a light anery, but its not a sunkissed, or amel could lavender be in there?

I was thinking that too. But it's dark along the sides and those blue eyes are at odds with lav. Hey at this point anything could be in there. This has been a fun clutch. Too bad it was so small. It was her first time though so there is always next season. Thanks for the response.

It looks lavenderish to me....wow..I would be on the moon if I found something like that in my snakeroom!

Could it be a sunkissed anery mot?

I don't think SK anery Mot because SK messes with motley and stripe. And this guy is striped head to tail tip. In the same clutch there were two mots both were SK and look nothing like this one.
The first pic is SK Motley. The second is SK Amel Motley. Notice how they don't have the classic Motley patterns but (you can't see it in the pictures) their bellies are clear.

I would guess it is a Sunkissed Anery Motley. With the Motley gene actually being MotleyxStripe. The pattern of your snake, if it is indeed Sunkissed, seems to have thrown a monkey wrench into what could be expected when mixing Sunkissed and the other known pattern traits (i.e. Motley, Stripe, Bloodred). This guy has me scratching my head. That snake is smokin' hot! I wish I could have seen something like that pip in one of our clutches. Great snake Terri! That snake is incredible. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

So Jay, in guessing mot/stripe and SK it doesn't bother you that the animal has a distinct stripe? That is what is throwing me. I've hatched SKs for years but only this year dove into the uncharted, for me anyway, waters of combining it with Motley. So I am on shaky ground at best. Thanks for the input!

That may not necessarily be true. I think the jury is still out on that one. Just because the few mutations we have seen tend to be "aberrant" doesn't mean that a different looking mutation could take effect. By looking at the head pattern and the nice band around the neck I would say that your snake is a Sunkissed. I also am noticing that your snakes (the Sunkissed Motley & Sunkissed Amel Motley) are exhibiting some extremely "white" high belly scales on about the first third of your snakes body. The ones I have hatched in the past and the ones that have pipped for us this season have the same exact anomaly. Sunkissed is an extreme genetic mutation and there is definitely a lot more to learn about it's tendencies when mixed with other genotypes. Again, absolutely incredible snake Terri, I am envious. :cheers:

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted! He is very light for an anery. I guess I'll wait for a shed to see its color better. I'll keep you posted.

That little "glitch" in the "stripe" pattern about a 1/3 of the way down leads me to think it could be homo Sunkissed. :shrugs: As for Anery? Seems kinda pinky/lavendery for straight Anery. Of course, you'll probably want to wait until after shedding!

Considering the parents were sold as only poss het, I'm thinking they were het hypo as well as anery and sunkissed. It looks to me like a ghost sunkissed. Just my opinion. :)
 
Taking a second look, I don't think it's an Anery. I think it's a Normal Sunkissed Motley with maybe Hypo thrown in to boot considering the other poss hets (thanks for the idea Becky!).

You're welcome Brent. Just trying to toss out the possibilities. The light color and blue eyes made me think hypo. But I haven't dealt with sunkissed yet so I'm not as good a guesser with the sk morphs. :)
