AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
How do u see that?
Dude, can u see what a cornsnake is het for?
hmm.. or is it other ways to see that?

I got my corn from a petshop, and I dont know what parent he got, or anything! I wanna know if he is het for anything.. how do I look it up?
(The petshop dont know................)
 
if you wish to know what ur snake is het for the only way to check is a breeding sample. Bloodred is a codominant trait so it is possible to see it through the dominant trait. I really have no idea what that little snake could be holding inside of him
 
Okey =)
I will breed him with a normal soon.. so.. well, just wait and see.. but I guess it will be all normal.. cause I dont think they are het or anything..
 
In most cases, it is extremely difficult to guess the genotype by appearance. Some morphs can give you a hint as to whether it is het for something, but it is never a guarantee.
If I were to guess the phenotype of your snake, I would say Anery A, as it is very similar to these two anery A (one is het ghost, the other het snow - both bred, born and raised by me).
 
Your very right Susan. I should have asked for guesses on it's phenotype. I wasn't looking for people to give me the het and possible het run down :rolleyes:

You are also right in the fact that this is an anery a, but the reason I was asking was because it is an extremely light example of an anery. I will try and post some better pics, but the pattern on this snake almost disappears towards the tail. I just wanted to see what other people thought. :) Like I say, i will get some better pics.

thanks for all the input guys...
:cheers:
 
I'm very partial to the light anery A's myself, and yours is GREAT! I really like them when they have that touch of pink/orange in their saddles. I've found they tend to lose some of that color as they get older, but I have 1 male (anery A motley/stripe het ghost) that seems to be not only keeping his, but getting more. He'll be of breeding size and age next spring and will be mating (hopefully) many of my lighter females in hopes of intensifying this trait.
 
i think i misread the question - i thought that elphae already knew what the little guy was het for and was asking us to guess - hes a light anery and a few het bloodred anerys i have seen are the same - you definatley cant tell if a snake is het for something (unless its blood red -Sometimes by checking the ventral pattern)
