Go Ahead, Make My Day!
I go with susan on the yellow factor, having seems both anery A and B both with and without yellow.
also, I'm not 100% convinced its actually a pure corn snake. The head doesnt quite look right for some reason.
If someone has sold you an incorrect morph, then its possible the sex is wrong, as could be the age, and could be the species..
I hope I am wrong of course..
Having had charcoal motleys from Jeff, I am 100% certain this isnt one.
The head looks fine to me. It's a head like I see on my anery and ghosts once they are over 5-6 years old.
ok,
So...no expert here by a long shot....Anery's can have no yellow..or some yellow or alot of yellow....anery B can have same as above..just depends on individual animal, and the color intensity is more apparent in anery's ? Ok..I'll buy that. Now, whats different in the anery's and charcoals that don't show the yellow..as opposed to the ones that do? Is it a genetic switch within the individual animal? Sorta like humans...I'm sure if i worked out every day.ate healthy, and lifted heavy weights...i might be in better shape....but i don't believe i'd end up looking like arnold or lou ferigno. I'm just not genetically geared for such muscle mass. Perhaps if a person could isolate this "switch" one could either breed for anery's & charcoals with no yellow..or the other way...with Massive amounts of yellow...More than what is already seen. I'm sure someone is already working on that..just needed to unload my brain so i can go to sleep......nite all.
I'm sure there is some genetic influence as to why some snakes get yellow and others don't. I don't see the yellow on the head and neck in lavenders or cinders. And the amount also varies in caramel morphs as it's different than the over-all yellow coloration. It's sort of like freckles in people. Some have a few, some have more, some are loaded and some have none. It's related to hair color, but also skin color and possibly something else as well.
