Does anyone have a Citrine?

[NikeMoth]

I've been looking for photos of Citrines but so far have only found one shot of a hatchling. Does anyone out there have an adult they'd be willing to show off?

This is a citrine blood I produce in 2010, he was about a year in this picture.
He was sold shortly after, so I cant update it.

How were you able to differentiate him from a snow or a xanthic snow?

I would like to know this myself. There are several morphs such as whiteout, blizzard, snow, citrine and xanthic snow that look very much alike. It seems like the more genes that remove color that you throw into the mix, the more confusing it gets. I always thought that the only real way to know was to know what the snakes genealogy is and/or to do breeding trials.

I'm guessing that as Cornmorphs produced the snake i.e. bred him, then he knows the genetics. He's a well-respected breeder so if he says it's a Citrine Blood, then that's what it is.

I think they just want to know what are the different characteristics between a caramel snow and a normal snow--How to tell the difference between the two.

No offense was intended! I believe him when he says its a citrine bloodred, I just wanted to know what markers he used to tell it apart from snows and xanthic snows. It would really be depressing to let a citrine slip past because I couldn't tell the difference.

In all honesty, there is a good possibility there is more in there than that.
Genetically its hypo caramel amel anery bloodred.
parents were amber mystery, they are so far het anery, bloodred and amel, so based on that then they would be citrine bloodred. The problem is, there is still possible strawberry and lavender in this mix. looking at some of the hatchlings I have produced I am certain there is lavender at least, but am still looking to prove this out..
so I guess its not 100% citrine blood, but it seems very likely, and worst case scenario if i;m wrong is that is got more genes in it.. so win win for the person who brought it.

After breeding many of those mentioned for years, you get to the stage where you can seperate many of those from others. but as above, I have tried to explain to the best of my knowledge on this snake so far.
I will continue with the matings, and will be using a son of the pairing, which I have labelled as amber anery bloodred, but I cant see anyway how there isnt lavender in this snake, which I aim to prove out either way this year.

thanks dude

This one is fairly easy in the flesh. Having produced both for a few years, caramel snows are an insane yellow, much more than any yellow snow I have ever seem. The eyes for some reason, also seem to be slightly different.
