My turn! SpiritSerpents 2014 season thread.

Thought I'd show off some of the better looking amels that are eating. Picture #1 got quite a bit over saturated in the flash. All of them are a little richer in these than real life, but not too much so.

Currently only half this clutch is taking food, which is a little aggravating. I'm 8/8 on the Shades of Gray, 14/18 on the aneries, 9/10 on Nautley's clutch that had their first meal today (yay!), and 7/14 with the amels. This is a significant feed rate improvement over last year.

The near complete lack of borders on the two above make me think they will fall smack into sunglow territory. Can't wait to get a shed or two under their belts and see those colors start to pop.

And a nice big snow what took its first meal today.

Those are some really nice amels, especially the first one. Did you do anything different this year to get better feeding results?
 
Nope. Last year was just a bad year over all. Lots of slugs/failures to lay and a crappy feed rate to boot.
 
That fox experiment had such incredible and unexpected results!! I can't wait to see what comes out of this sweetcorns line. It could be really exciting!

Ohmigosh these aneries are just amazing! I think if they were any more docile they'd be immobile. o_O
 
My ultramel anery is like that too. I'm so impressed, she just sits there while I pick her up, and hangs out in my hand. To me, that's worth a LOT! My cinder is so flighty, I just feel bad every time I handle her. To be honest, it makes me really happy to know someone somewhere is breeding for temperament. All these colors are gorgeous and fun, but I think good temperaments should not be forgotten as an important part of what makes corn snakes such good pets! I saw somewhere that you were working towards an all black corn too? Is that still a project in the works? It's another thing I was saying just recently that I wished someone would try!
 
I just wanted to say that your photos are fantastic - the little one with the toothie and toothie shadow is way too cute!!!

I'm glad you are attempting to breed for temperament as well as color morphs - that said you have a lot of really interesting morphs as it is!!!
