Colorado is for Lovers!

[Jessicat]

Gotta support my man John. I have several Colorado Corns, and I'm crazy about all of them. They're an amazing bunch of snakes from an amazing guy. They're all also as sweet as can be.. no haters here.. :shrugs:

Alright, first things first, I think I'll showcase Lyra, my amazing Ghost (White sided? Pied?) Bloodred from John.

A glimpse of her awesome sides.

Sweet close up

Someone didn't really want her picture taken..

Sufferer of blurry head syndrome. Kidding.. just like this one because it shows off a few of her nice white spots...

Next up is Lilac, my sweet Pewter (ph Lav) girl. I only really got one nice shot of her. I'll probably have a "do over" photo session tonight or tomorrow to remedy that. I think she might be in shed in this photo also.

Now for Elbert (man, I'm just not very fond of that name, think I'll brainstorm another one..)
He's a Dilute Granite, and I LOVE him. He proves how amazing and generous John is. John F is a wonderful friend to have. Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to add him to my collection!

Such sweet doe eyes

Elbert has some very subtle color that is generally hard to pick up on camera. These pictures actually aren't half bad representations.

Alright, last for the thread right now is Hayden, a beautiful Fire. She has some white spots but the parts of her that are red are REALLY REALLY red!

Where do you think you're going?!

Out of the frame apparently..

For some reason last week when I was taking these photos I didn't include Lux, my Butter Stripe. Probably because she wouldn't fit very well into this cup..

She's a pretty sweet animal, so I'll include her in my reshoot. Stay tuned!! Even though I don't have as many awesome snakes as Nate does, I hope you guys enjoyed! :cheers:

HUGE props to John, you're the best man!

Quantity is not important. Quality is. And you have some quality animals! That pewter girl is to die for.

Wow that fire is a screamer, John is a great guy. I have a few of his corns here.

I have some Tequila Sunrise kids from John that are true to their bloodline; easy handling, pretty as heck and good eaters. Quality stuff John has

 

[Nanci]

They look great, Jess!! I have always been partial to Lilac, and that fire is smokin'!!! I like them when they have just a touch of white for contrast.

 

[Cat_Eyed_Lady]

That fire needs to come with her own cornia warning! geez They are all gorgious! From all the pretties I have seen coming from John, I do beleive he is on my next "want from" list! I have yet to have the pleasure of one from him. I think I am going to have to fix that next year!

I only have one corn from John, and she happens to be Lyra's sister! And they look much alike so I figure a picture wont be necessary

They look great Jessica! John produces some great corns! It's hard to improve on perfection but Lyra keeps getting better.

 

[Buzzard]

Nice snakes.... That fire needs to come with a sunglasses warning.

Quantity is not important. Quality is. And you have some quality animals! That pewter girl is to die for.

Oh Nate, you know how I kid.
I'm just super jealous of all of your amazing animals. In all seriousness though, I definitely prefer quality over quantity. That's why I buy snakes from amazing breeders like John!

They look great, Jess!! I have always been partial to Lilac, and that fire is smokin'!!! I like them when they have just a touch of white for contrast.

Thanks Nanci!! Yea, Lilac is a pretty amazing little Pewter. She is in shed right now, so the photos I took of her last night turned out kind of so - so, but I'll post a few just because she is soooo pretty. She's getting a really nice white area along her neck. I'm not sure if this is really amazing diffusion or if it's actually pigment less. I'm going with really nice diffusion.

Here are a few of the better shots I got of her last night.

Not 100% in amazing focus, but this one is too cute not to share.

Alright, and last but definitely not least, here are some updated photos of Lux!

I put her in the same cup as everyone else to show everyone's sizes in relation to each other. Lux is definitely my largest female!

Such a pretty face

And those are my Colorado Corns!! It's hard for me to name "favorites" in my collection, because I end up choosing too many. This group is DEFINITELY in my group of "top" favorites.

Thanks for all the compliments so far! Anyone considering adding a Colorado Corn to their collection should stop thinking about it and make some space in their rack! Definitely worth it.

Thank you for the comments everyone!!! But thank you Jessica for posting Lux she has always been a favorite of mine and I miss her very much. She has an amazing stripe and has always been so friendly. If it was anybody else I wouldn't have given her up.
John

Wow. You sure have some amazing animals from him! That butter stripe is just-WOW! And that fire is soooo bright!

 

[Mangycanine]

Not typically crazy about butters... but HOLY BUTTER CORNSNAKE BATMAN!

Lyra is looking beautiful Jessica. I was just recently talking to john about the possibility of white/pieds sides on Kiran. Lyra definitely looks like she has some. Kiran's sides are so light it is hard to tell.
