Aaah! Sweeet! You just made my day! Or rather night. Nice pairing. No tell me, what is the difference between the two? The Milksnake phase and the Banded phase.

Omg Omg! Why is there blood??? Is it bad? Does it happen offen? I'm gona breed my Cal Kings soons, what do i do if i see blood?

[MouseKilla]

Such smut! lol! Can't wait to pull my beasts out of the cold room and start spinning the Isaac Hayes for them, maybe some gin and valium, soft lighting, satin substrate...

[Tim_Cranwill]

Good luck, Simon. Those look like nice corns! :)

[Katt]

Alex P! Don't worry, that's perfectly normal. Sometimes there is a little bit of blood.

Vanan,

To be honest, there isn't much difference between the milk snake phase corn snake and the banded corn snakes.
The main difference is that the milk snake phase corn snake was started by Rich Zuchowski and he mainly selectively bred them to have larger blotches and a greyish silver background (like the Miami phase). Infact Rich has dropped this line already and instead of selling the milk snake phase corns, he is just selling them as miamis now.

As for the banded, it was started of by Don Soderberg. His goal was to make the perfect bands throughout the whole snake.

So basically saying, the banded corns = normals selectively bred for bandings, Milk Snake phase = Selectively bred miamis. Also there are the amel milk snake phase which came basically from the milk snake phase line.

These quotes are directly from "The Cornsnake Manuel" by Bill and Kathy Love.

Milk Snake Phase
" The 'Milk snake pase ' corn's larger blotches and pale ground color cause it to superficially resemble certain milk snakes from the Atlantic Coastal Plain in the northeastern U.S."

Banded
"Efforts are underway to breed banded corns with single big wrap-around saddles that absorb the side blotches and reach from belly to belly across the snakes' backs."

So as you can see here..there are not much difference...

As for mine,
Mines are Milk Snake Phase Motley. Thus this is a milk snake phase + motley patterns. So as you can see on her you can see the milk snake phase pattern on her and at the same time on the front of her you can se the affect of the motley genes.

Hope this answered your question~

Thanks to all that liked this pair hopefully this pair will bring me lots of babies this year (last year I had 8 eggs from her..but only 1 was fertile and the little one was born with abnormalty...it's belly was 'cracked' and died 2 days after it's emerge from egg...)

Cool! Thanks for that info man! So that means that Miami I posted isn't a banded but could be a milksnake phasey looking type thingamajiggy? I'm hoping to try selectively breeding my own line of milksnake phase Miami's in the decades to come! lol. Not for the reputation or anything. Just for the heck of it, and to give people a choice of bloodlines.
