What are the blackest morphs?

[StaceyBaybee]

I want a new corn and wanted a dark/black corn snake to contrast the amel I already have, does anyone have any suggestions or pics?

Aneries are black and white ("opposite" mutation to amels). There's Anery A, Anery B (aka charcoal), and also "Ashy" although "Ashy" is currently expensive cuz it's new. Ashy also seems to have more red.

I'd say an anery motley would contrast pretty well with your amel.

. The hatchlings tend to be darker than the adults, but honestly adults vary in how dark they'll be. If possible, ask to see what the parents look like, although it'll be hard to tell unless one of them is also anery.
You're most likely to find an Anery A mot since Anery A is more ubiquitous than B, for whatever reason (probably because it was discovered earlier and, considering how similar the two are, there wasn't a lot of pressure to expand B)

Whoops, wrong button, meant to post a link:

Yup,

I would go with that suggestion re: Anery Motley

However, they very rarely keep their stark black/white colouration.

A dark Granite is a possibility.



They too can vary a great deal.

We have bred an Axanthic Carmot who is retaining this desirable black colouration.

Perhaps this is the way to recapture the melanin that is so lacking in most of the Anerythristic cultivars?

I recently put up a thread on "black" anerys and if there is anyone producing this anerys which are hloding their black pigmant. To the best of my knowledge, line breeding anerys (like amels to candy canes) and possabley the influence of the caramel gene blended with the anery gene may help to retain a darker pigment(even though the anery gene over powers caramel). I plan to do some test breedings to see if this can be relied on to produse anerys that stay black at adult hood.:licklips::flames:

Pewters (aka charcoal bloodres) can be rather solid dark colored.....like an anti-sunglow albino.

Yup,

The Granite female (posted above) is carrying the Charcoal gene, however, her sibling who is, also, het Hypo is very much paler than this lady.

Just thought I would Add a Picture

This is a picture of a female anery that I just picked up at a show last weekend. She retained her dark colors very nicely.

Wow I love how that snake looks it's amazing, im guessing though from what people have said a snake like that is pretty hard to get hold of!? I love how much the yellow stands out too :licklips: lol
