I guess 4 yrs. (without looking at records) Not a speck of black. Only a few "bronze" ones here and there. Actually lighter than in this photo.

Wow, I really LIKE that one!!!!!
I'll certainly put hypo on my list of possible 'next' corn.
There are so many corn colours, I'm having a heck of a time picking the next one. I've got until the fall to decide, but it will still be a hard choice.

Thanks, Simon. In person she is lighter and a little less orange. If you didn't see the dark eyes--you'd say she was amel. A friend selectively bred for this and I have the only one left. I'll post pics of her with my wild caught hypo later.

Wow! very light - and golden. Do you think there are any other recessives that are contributing to the coloration in her - seems I have heard that hets for butter tend toward intensified yellows even in the normals, of course it could just be that the black is so reduced in her with the selective breeding away from it - she sure is lovely,

No others known here. I (we) started w/ w.c. animals that showed reduced amounts of black and ended up with this. Her babies from a breeding of her with the wild caught male below will be as hypo as I think I can get. Same with my Miamis--- no candy cane,snow,etc.blah, blah ,blah! Only from lines of w.c. Thanks.

It's funny,Simon. I never intended to have a lot of corns at all. I'd get one here --one there...... You know.. Now wish I'd been putting more time into them. Apparently they'll always be popular with each "morph" having its followers. A lot can be learned. I try to have animals that represent "actual" wild populations as well as the "designer" ones.Thanks.

Mark,

Yes I totally know what you mean by getting one here and there...but you really know how to pick snakes.....cause all of them looks superb and great~ or else I wouldn't have to start planning on coming to your place and start robbing you..

tai pan....
I guess that you should start working together and start robbing him....
I'll do the actual stealing and you either hold Mark down or watch if he is coming or not....lol
