Charcoal Snow?????

[kernel]

Yea, they look almost identical, but citrines are 4 gene animals and snows are only 2. Snow (amel x anery) Citrine (amel x anery x caramel x hypo)

I was told if a snake has the absence of normal yellow it is axantic like with a ball python?

[Snakefood]

xanthic corns do have the absence of yellow, but so do blizzards, do there is a difference between the gene variations in corns.

the way genes mix are different too, In corns, there is no gene equivalent or dominant to normal. eg: BOTH mom and dad in corns have to have the morph gene for any of the babies to come out as visual morphs, if not they all come out Normal het (_____)

Except for tessera and buf

[Snakefood]

oops, sorry, you're right, I forgot about those as I've never worked with them!!

[Donnie]

I only know as I have recently been doing a bit of looking into tessera's and will be saving up for one for my next snake I think. They are expensive but very hard to resist when you see babies like these ones

Multicorn - UK snake breeders tessera corn snake cornsnake palmetto tessera kastanie pied side bloodred corns palmetto pantherophis guttatus

[Snakefood]

they are expensive, the one here is like $400. I asked the breeder why she is isn't trying to breed them anymore and she said that is is hard to get what you want out of them.

And I don't know anyone who works with the buff gene

[Donnie]

Over here you are looking at £180 for a normal tessera and if you wanted one of the hypo bloodreds it would set you back £800 (which I suppose is not to bad as they are a world first morph and he is only selling 1 female).

[Snakefood]

sounds about equal, last time I was in Britian, the Canadian dollar was worth about half a pound!!

Interesting I got a hatchling albino snow corn she looks very similar to the second pic above
