Motley Sunglow?

Zoe · 09-19-04, 12:49 PM

I was browsing through a U.S. website recently and I saw a picture of a Motley Sunglow corn... amazing to say the least!
I don't plan on getting one anytime soon, but I was wondering if anyone in Canada was breeding these? Or if anyone here owns one and has pics?

Thanks

Yup, I produced some Motley sunglows this season.
I think Simon and a few others are also producing them. There's a few around anyway.

Not breeding them yet - mine are just yearlings - but here are some pictures They are very dramatic corns - the male I have is darker orange but has a few white scales near his tail --

the female was sold as sunglow motley but is definately oranger - lighter tones, but still pretty - will be using her with my creamsicle line

Wow, they sure are stunning! Up there with Blizzards as my favourite corns! How much do they go for in Canada?

I sold them for $130-150 each~~

That is about what they sell for here in western Canada - Annette from Wrapped up in Reptiles usually has them available.

They are a very pretty snake - get better with age! Wish corns weren't so addictive.

Nice Albino Motleys guys. LOL, sorry. But my sunglows are not just a special looking Albino or Albino Motley. My Sunglows are double recessive for Albino (Amelanism) and Hypo (Hypomelanism). Look here a pic of my Sunglow:

Here is my Sunglow Motley (about to shed:

And here is my Sunglow Stripe:

All of these will be available this coming season (2005). Email me if you would like more info on them or info about reserving them.

Ultimatecorns - Interesting to see some sunglows from the lines that are double homozygous - for hypo and amel - the equivalent of hybino in other species. They really have a reduced red/orange quality compared to amels - similar to what is seen in other species and expected to happen with honduran milks (once we get to see some confirmed ones).

Nice corns that you have available - are you willing/able to ship to Canada - the US Fish and Wildlife regulations make it prohibitive for most American breeders - would be interested to know if you handle international shipments.

I have a Fish n Wildlife Permit and I believe I can ship to Canada, but lemme double check that. However, none of these are available right now. I will have Sunglows, Sunglow Motleys, and Sunglow Stripes in summer 2005. But I will take reserves on these. Email me for more info. Email address is nate@ultimatecornsnakes.com

I'd love to get some sunglow stripes from ya. If you can export to Canada, I just may have to piggyback Mary's order.

Still looking into International shipping.
