[DeesBalls]

today my wife said she wanted a lavender corn snake (cuz its purple ish ) just wondering to see some adult pics... i searched but coudlnt find any good pics!

thanks for the help guys!

Nope but I will have one someday!! Look at Hypo lavendars too, they seem just that tiny bit more "purplish" Also the stripe's seem to have more color to them than the normals or motley's.

The pics never do them justice you honestly have to see them in person, just like tequila sunrises. They are amazing!!

Here's my opal stripe (albino lavender stripe) He's pink instead of purple, which IMO is prettier.

Oh, yea. Here's my ultramel anery (first pic) and bubblegum snow (second pic). I know you said purple, but I figured she would love pink too.

[kernel]

[Rogue628]

In person they look like an anery that has pink instead of white on it and a very very yellow mustache running down its sides that you would expect on a mature normal corn. They make me almost gasp they are so beautiful in person. I saw a gopher corn mix at a pet store they called a tequila sunrise i wanted to beet them.

Wow, those are pretty!

Some of the corns shown are pretty pink and purple babies but change a lot as adults. Lavenders can vary from mocha browns to light gray. I agree that hypo lavender or sunkissed lavender (orchid) is the way to go. The tequila sunrise are pretty babies but can get a lot of smeary yellow on them as they mature. Snows start out pink but can turn yellowish green as adults, unless you are talking hypo snow, strawberry snow, coral snow. Even ultra anerys are very similar to lavenders as hatchlings but get a lot of yellow as they mature. Just my 2 cents, as I have lavenders, hypo lavender, an orchid, a hypo snow and ultra anery. :)

I think Lavenders are very pretty for Corns. That might be one breeding possibility for my Amel but right now, Im still favoring Bloodred Stripe or Stripe Motley. Im leaving my options open for now though.

except the coral snows are more pink than purple. If you really want purple, find an Orchid or a Hypo Lavendar. (in that order!)

[solo1979]

Coral snows are definitely pink but I saw the discussion had progresses from purple to pink AND purple. :)

There are so many corns floating around out there, that I probably wouldn't recommend breeding a lavender to your amel unless both are het for something else. If they're not, you are going to end up with an entire clutch of normals het for lavender and amel. With both of those morphs being fairly cheap, the normals won't sell for more than $20 and will be quite difficult to sell at all unless you already know friends and family who want them.

Yeah I understand that. I had a bloodred stripe before and my original plan was to produce triple hets and then breed them together until he got sick and died. Right now, my breeding plans are on hold. Im just glad to get my amel back.

Ugh I'm sorry to hear that. Some of those bloodred projects are really cool. I was thinking about working on some strawberry gene stuff but think I'd like to do some pairing with my carpets first and maybe the corns later on.
