Calico Corn Information?

Hehehe..... I am actually curious as to the price for hatchlings that have the characteristics mine have. Are they the same as regular leucy's, or are they priced differently because of the unique trait?
 
I have heard of people using wine fridges to brumate tortoises, although I don't know how the whole air exchange thing is handled.

I have a six-bottle wine fridge (for wine) that sits on the counter. Every time there is a power interruption, it shuts off and won't restart. I have a 35 bottle fridge which may or may not do that. It is much more efficient. The six-bottle one runs all the time, the 35 bottle one is off quite a bit. I put them both on a UPS which is why I don't know if the larger one restarts after a power interruption or not. At any rate, if you do use that method, I would recommend a UPS, too.

What? I don't follow?
 
The guy with the other snakes that lives in south Florida, that you advised to separate, was considering brumating them in a wine refrigerator. I didn't suddenly go off on a tangent.

Real nice Leucys you have there - I've never seen any with that amount of speckling before, and if it proved to be a inheritable trait .. yep I'd pay more for it than a regular :)

Thought you Guys might be interested in seeing these two photo's of a 'Chocolate Chip' Black Ratsnake.

The snake and photo's belong to Doug Moody, SC.

Sorry I don't know any more about this snake but guess some might know Doug from the Kingsnake forums so could chase it up if your interested.

Great photo's :cheers: I think we are getting closer to the true ID of the "Calico Corn" :eatpointe
 
Thanks guys... As I said, I am not a breeder; however, I am very interested to see what turns up if I can get them to do the deed. I brought her in to Underground Reptiles, which is a very well known store in my area, and they were as puzzled by her as I am. They said that sometimes, as a Leucy ages black spots can appear; however, they had never seen one with black, red, orange, and yellow on individual scales before. On some scales, half the scale is white and the rest has pigment. She tends to get more spotted as she gets older. I will keep the forum posted, and if anything cool pops out come pip time, I would love for the offspring to end up with knowledgeable breeders to prove traits out. I think my girl and boy are special regardless.
 
Chocolate Chip Black Rats

Doug Moody (originator of the albino nelsoni) had 2 of those in the early 90's. They were collected close to his home (upstate South Carolina) by some kids and they brought them to Doug. Unfortunately they persihed in a heater accident prior to being able top reproduce them. However, they looked alot like that except they weren't as vibrant white. Just thought I would mention it.

No doubt about it! With all of these examples of non-pantherophis ratsnakes and the seemingly incongruous story about the million dollar corn...I'm thinking "cough, cough hybrid, cough" excuse me...
 
dang forkedtung, there must be a cold goin' around, 'cause I have the coughs too. I was just getting ready to say "cough, cough, also not wild caught, cough, cough
 
Baby Leucy's

My two Leucies did the deed and some eggs hatched today. This is their second clutch and the first clutch only hatched out 1 egg. The snakes are interesting. They are stark white on the scales, but have some under patterns to them. I will post pics after the first shed. No speckles yet, but that is how my female was when I got her... Stark white. The speckles came with age and maturity.

I sure will. I have a few more pippies now too. Unfortunately, the largest egg ruptured today and there was nothing inside it except two separate tissue masses. I guess it was going to be twins but didn't work out. I have two more that have pipped, and 2 more with slits that are still in the shell totally, and I am not yet sure if they will make it. I will keep you posted.
 
WOW!

Dont look anything like a cornsnake to me, I know a guy who breeds alot of hybrids that are way cooler then that animal
I sure as hell wouldnt pay 10s of thousands of dollars for a snake thats more then likely is a hybrid!
:nope::grin01:
 
very pretty snake

I am surprised that nobody noticed that this snake has a single anal plate. Corn snakes have a divided anal plate. The head scale count also does not match with any elaphe species. I would have to say this is an amazing looking masticophis although it does look a lot like an extreme colored buttermilk racer.
 
On my browser the anal plate, just left of the last red scale on the belly, sure looks undivided. maybe my picture is'nt as good as yours though.
