First Snow Corn

[notserp]

I know I have heard or read about it before but I can't remember or find out when the first Snow Corn was produced and how much the first ones went for. I'd also be interested to know what some of the other first morphs went for as well. Just curiosity.

Kathy and Bill Love's book says it was in the mid seventies, but I still wonder how much they were. I find it crazy to hear how much some snake morphs first went for, not speaking specifically about Corns but snakes in general.

Good question; I too would be interested in knowing, if anyone does know!

Amel and anery both popped up long before the hobby had hit full stride so I doubt they went for thousands. My Dad and I were snake keepers in the 70's, and it was the true dark ages. Glass tanks, hot rocks, and weighted down screen tops were de rigueur. Frozen mice weren't available (at least not at the pet shops I frequented), and most corns in stores were wild collected, presumably locally. I'd be curious to know what these early mutations sold for as well.

I remember trying to pickup a goldust in 2003. It was $400.

I would also love to know more about the history of corn snake breeding.

I think it's a very interesting question and even with the internet it's so hard to find any information. I really hope this thread leads to a bunch of stories from early going projects.
