Interesting Ghost

It looks likes Serps first impression that the “Mystery” Ghost didn’t look like Anery A or B, may be the case. It certainly looks odd to the rest of us and we are not just talking about the pattern.

Rich’s breeding trials, sure seem to indicate that this Anery Type Corn is not compatible with Anery A or B. He may not be 100% sure since he was using a Corn that was het for this Anery gene, but since he bred him to several females of both types, it is some pretty strong evidences that highly suggest a new mutant Anery gene. Since he bred this same Het male to the wild caught Keys Corn and produced some Anery Type corns, this also shows where the gene came from.

Photos would be sweet, but not in your condition Rich. Carol’s Mystery Corn doesn’t seem to have any yellow pigment along with its odd pattern. You mentioned that the color of yours changed to a mahogany color, but do they have yellow pigment and do they have the odd pattern that Carol‘s does?
 
I don't know if it matters, but really none of the corns from this line have any of that yellow that can develop on the chin and throat. The female with the wierd pattern has some "gold" hues to her background, but other than that they are all lacking any yellow. So I don't know if the lack of yellow is due to the type of Anery or just the lineage.
 
A mutant gene that did actually remove all yellow pigment would be a gold mine. A true Candy Cane could actually be created. There may be other interesting possibilities as well.
 
This thread is worth a read. It's where I got my "brilliant idea" that the above was not A or B. (They are from Keys lines, it made sense that they could be from Rich, etc.. it all just kinda falls into place.)

Dunno if this thread is about the same thing, it was quite a while ago... http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7150 I believe that snake, or something similar to it, was in Rich's display tank at Daytona. For those of us who like gray morphs, it's really cool, whatever it is. :)

Well it appears that the Hypo line in those Upper Keys is compatible with at least one other Hypo gene I am working with. I want to say "Type A", but I'm not really sure what that is any longer and if all of the animals I thought are type A really are. But at least I am confident it is not yet another Hypo gene.

I did get a few more Hypo Upper Keys this year, but so far all I have gotten are females of them.

No, that is not from the Upper Keys line. I'm still not sure what exactly it is, so I am keeping mum about it until I have more pieces of the puzzle laying on the table.

No, I didn't have any of the new Anerys at the show. I had one marked to bring along, however it was opague when it came time to bag it up. I had others but couldn't FIND them in the panic mode of packing for the show.....

And yes, I believe the pattern is pretty much the same as we are seeing in Carol's animal. But honestly I have aways looked more closely at the color and haven't paid a lot of attention to the pattern. Hopefully this right arm problem of mine will get better soon and I might be able to get some pictures. I have some full adults in brumation, so they will probably be easier to manage for photo sessions. No way I could do that now......
 
Hey Carol, now I'm stuck trying to figure out what I'll breed his sibling hypo sister to in '06!

I'm sure I'll come up with something! :grin01:

Clint that makes two of us :) I was originaly going to breed to a super nice Miami male that also came from Carol but now I am really thinking LOL. Looks like I might have to buy some pinkies as well. My feeder tubs have not been producing enough pinkies so I have only been feeding every 7 to 10 days. Looks like I need to change that so she will be ready to breed in 2006.
