The weirdest patterns you ever done seen.

[Shiari]

I love aberrantly patterned corn snakes. There is no end to my love of aberrantly patterned corn snakes. This is why I have 4 aberrantly patterned corn snakes, currently.

Please feel free to contribute your own oddball patterned creatures: notleys, aztecs, zigzags, and all sorts of "what are you doing?"s.


Firstly: Avedan, phantom. The whole of him basically says "How does I patterned? confused..."

His body doesn't know what it was supposed to be doing.

His head doesn't know what it was supposed to be doing.

Even his belly doesn't know what is was supposed to be doing.

And then there's Ziggy, who's semi-co-owned with Carol at LBR (she gets to breed him later ). He's a lovely amel stripe, but for the life of me I can't remember the rest of his genetics, though I suspect Cinder is in there. He, clearly, never got the memo on what a stripe looks like. He's not even a vanishing or a cubed stripe. He's ... a.. well. Yeah.

Naturally I can't leave out Blizzard, my hypo lavender stripe boy... who also missed that memo. Or was incredibly lazy. Either way, stripe implies that, somewhere, there is a stripe. Somewhere.

He also turned into Bitey McBiterson during the photo shoot. Jerkface.

If you squint, you can just see the tiniest bit of pattern, actually... but it's only visible in photos with the flash, not in person.

Alas, I have no new photos of Nautley but what the hell... this is a thread about strange patterns, so I can't possibly leave her out!

The photo that started it all: Tiny tiny Nautley who didn't know how to pigment OR pattern.

Hey Avedan! Looking good! They are all really neat, I especially like Ziggy.

 

[Shiari]

Ave is doing real well, nice little chow-hound, but he won't eat near his blue I have discovered.

Ziggy was a fun one; I was helping Carol get ready for the San Jose show and she said "I have this strange stripe that you need to see." And there he was. Later on, I was joking how I had to get a good male for Piperita when she's all grown up, and she offered me a choice of 3 of the male amel stripes. I chose Ziggy because he's weird and then Carol said "I didn't want to pressure you, but I was hoping you'd pick him!"

They are all so cool! I love unusual patterns too, what a cute little baby Nautley was (and is now a beautiful lady!).

 

[Zeina]

Wow, it's amazing to see Nautley's baby photo and then her adult? photo- Her colors have changed so much, she's beautiful!
It kinda gives me an idea just how much my baby's pattern will change throughout the coming years!

 

[Nanci]

I don't have anything quite that odd! One of my favorites is Koolio, an Okeetee tessera, son of Gartersnake.

 

[Nanci]

This is Koolio's mother, Madras. She belongs to Jarrett and Troy. I like this photo of the day she met Gartersnake. We hoped her aberrant pattern would pass on to some of her offspring, but it didn't, this time. (Madras is an Abbott's Okeetee.)

 

[daddio207]

Here's my wacky guy....

 

[Shiari]

Nanci, considering how he's alternating normal thickness and twice as much, I think it might have 'passed down' to him, just a little. What a neat effect. His mother, of course, is stunning.

Daddio, is that a bizarre motley or an even more bizarre 'oopsie'? Amazing!

 

[MysticExotics]

This is my weirdest patterned Corn. She is out of the 2011 Okeetee Tessera X Alabama locality pairing.

There were three babies with the Aztec-ish patterning. We call them "Taztecs".

 

[hypnoctopus]

I love Nautley. I've seen those photos before and I always forget how neat she is because her aberrant pattern is really emphasized by her thick black borders. But I'm loving looking at all these crazy patterned guys!

I have to get take some new pics, but here is an old one of Thor, my extrem aztec:

 

[Shiari]

Okay, I think that one wins the thread so far. I think I remember when that guy was a baby; weren't there several with his patterning? Are you planning on breeding him this upcoming year?

 

[NiklasTyreso]

Thanks!
Thor is kept in dark and without heating right now so mayby he will breed next year. I still keep his father and Thors extreme aztec sister (and two other of the ordinary aztec siblings) as well as 8 other corns.
If they breed more (thats fun) I have to get rid of more snakes and that is never fun.

This corns pattern I believe is the product of incubation problems. It was hatched from a clutch of eggs from a wild caught female years ago. There were originally 3 like this in the clutch but two of the three didn't make it. Search "Stillman Corn" for more info.
