I just tried to register to be a member of this forum site and it told me my ever-so-uncommon name had been taken. Out of curiosity, i tried to login under that name with my everything-password and voila! I'm already here!
In short, i completely forgot ever having been a member. so hi ya'll and here's a little catch-up:

I am a newbie to corn keeping, i have a Bloodred named Rosemary and plan on buying a lavender at the next reptile expo in White Plains, New York.


:crazy02:

Welcome back.

...no...it was a really unfortunate situation. I lost him just before a planned outing. I left a pinky on a heating mat in the room i lost him, but no go. I've finally come to terms with his pretty much definite loss. But i have since taken measure to ensur i don't lose any more babies. I have a constant weight on top of rosy's enclosure and plan on using snap-shut sterilite containers in the future. I've definately learned my lesson, but i still feel bad for the poor little thing...

well, although i do get flamed for it bit, i'm totally in it for the vanity. I love the pretty things. If it's appealing to my eye, i must have it. BUt that doesn't mean i don't love them very much all the same

(just like the rest of us!)

hmmm...well....im corn illiterate.....i have never heard that term before, but i was hoping at taking a stab at copying the Bloodred Lavenders at serpenco....although i'm not sure if the genetics are all there in my head, but what the heck, i'm anewbie so it ain't hurtin' any to just play around a bit for personal satisfaction (as opposed to business)

by the way? I'm sure plenty have tried it, anyone get'm like this one at serpenco?

btw, feel free to "flame" me...I'm open to learning even if it's rough and am well aware that i know nothing.

Bloodred is the name for a normal coloured corn that displays the diffusion gene (making the colours blend into each other and turning the animal a bright, bloodred)

When an animal has some form of anerythrism (anery a, charcoal, lavander or caramel) then the term 'bloodred' does not really fit as the animal is not at all red, so it tends to defer back to the term 'diffused'.

Thank you Adéle, I actually learnt something then

 

[princess]

That said also, you are aware that the babies will look something like a normal corn and then in the next generation (when you breed the babies with each other) you will get about 25% looking like a diffused lav.

Very happy to help...it's very confising at first but I really like the genetics and statistics side of the hobby as much as the sheer beauty of the animals!

 

[marty.warwick]

I've actually been doing tons of studying on genetics in corns, I don't really hope to breed in future, but i still find it all fascinating. All the studying I've done is all written in a notebook and I'm not actually at college for a couple months and people think I'm doing coursework, but its just what I've been doing most evenings recently

well, yes,but i wasn't exactly looking for the "diffused" gene anyway. But now that i understand that a little better, where the heck did the purple come from then?

 

[princess]

where the heck did the purple come from then?

I think that particular animal in the photo you linked from Serpenco is one of those 'one in a million' hatchlings. The majority will be much more like a light mauve rather than a deep violet.

I'm sure plenty have tried it, anyone get'm like this one at serpenco?

My Serpenco male lav-blood's heading in that direction, but my female's much more subdued in color. They're both only 7-8 months old, so they have a lot of developing to do.

P.S. Looks like your blood's coming along VERY nicely.
