someone once told me that there is a snake breeding season in October so i tried it and nothing i guess i would like to know what time i should do it and i guess what should i do to the viv heat wise and should i put anything special in there with them... i going to breed an anery male with a Amale motley female do you guys think i'll get anything cool...anyways this is my first time as you can tell just wondering what you guys think i should do?
 
Breeding season for corns is generally in the spring. Last year, in Chicago with natural light cycles my unbrumated corns started breeding in February. October sounds quite late to me.

If the anery and anery motley are not carrying any heterozygous/hidden traits, then anery x anery motley = all anerys het for motley.

If both of them carry the amel gene, which wouldn't be unheard of, you would get 1/4 the clutch showing up as snows het motley.

If your anery is het motley, you'd get half anerys, half anery motleys.

If you luck out and your anery is het motley and amel and the anery motley is het amel, they you could get anerys (3/8), anery motleys (3/8), snows (1/8), and snow motleys (1/8).

The most common genes that snakes may be carrying would be amel, hypo, anery, and motley. It never surprised me when these genes pop up unexpectedly. :)

Good luck with them.
 
no the female is Amale motley she orange she looks kinda like a sun glow but i got here from darin chappel he told me she was a Amale motley so i dunno ??? but we'll see i hope something wonderful happens i love chrimas in june and july when all that cute little eggs open... i love this... corns are becoming addictive very fast!!!!! but i should just throw them together in febuary sence i'm in chicago too??? what temp is good should i do anything special???
but thanks
 
Oops, my bad, read that wrong.

OK Amel motley x Anery = all normals het amel, anery, and motley (aka het for snow motley).

If the amel motley is het for anery, then you'd get half normals and half anerys all het for motley (and anery if not expressing it)

If the Anery carries amel and motley and the Amel mot carries anery, you can get lots of fun stuff:
Normals
Anerys
Amels
Snows
Motleys
Amel Motleys
Anery Motleys
Snow Motleys
 
Mine do great at or near 80-82 degrees.

I usually start introducing them after a shed around February, try weekly until you see some interest. You can usually tell, the females get restless and the males start cruising and may go off feed.

With your pairing, the very least you'll know that all hatchlings will be het for amel, anery and motley (or whichever of those genes they aren't expressing, should you have mutants pop out).
 
amel motley

If you got your amel motley from Darin there is a good chance it is a sunglow motley or pretty darn close.
I got my amel motley from Darin and it is a beautiful snake and about as close to a sunglow motley as you can get. I can't find any white on him.
In a few pictures it looks like a little white but in person you can't see it.
so, although I just posted these two pics the other day here is my beautiful amel motley from Darin, again.

Although as you've seen, they CAN breed at odd times of the year, their normal breeding season is around March to July. Their first mating could have been an instinctive response to meeting a Corn of the opposite sex for the first time. I'd try putting them together again in the Spring.

It's worth bearing in mind that just because they mate, the female won't necessarily produce eggs. She just might not be in the right physical condition or she may not be ovulating at the critical point in time.

Also, before you start breeding, make sure you have some way of selling the babies. You could end up with 10-20+ hatchlings and feeding them is going to cost. Reputable shops/dealers probably won't take them until they've had three feeds each and some might take a while to start eating. Don't count on making a profit - they're hungry critters!
 
Haste The day said:
Hey i have had a corn snake for about 3 and a half years now. My friend got a corn snake same kind albino and about same time same age(his is the male not as big). We recently decided to put them together and to our surpise they mated. We never put them thorugh any hibernation or anything they just did it. Is this unusual(they have never been together before) :confused: . Its been liek 2 months my female did not lay eggs. why? We tryed putting them together more often to see if they would mate again but it doesnt happen more can u eplain this all to me? plz and thank you.

Haste, the females can retain the sperm until their eggs are ready, so they can take a long time to lay eggs after breeding. I got this info straight from the corn snake manual, page 47, last paragraph, so keep an eye on your girl! She may still surprise you.
Faithfull, good luck in february or so
