From the SnakeNutt collection

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been "documenting" all my snakes with photos for the American Cornsnake Registry (what a great job Serp and Connie are doing, and what a great asset to all of us!). Some of my snakes were so squirmy and uncooperative that I recruited my husband to help. He's not as "nutts" about them as I am, but he didn't mind experimenting with his new digital camera. Just thought I'd share a few of our shots.

First one is my female bloodred, Blaze (thin from laying a clutch).
Second one is my male "odd" (i.e., unknown hypo) ghost male, Shaman.
Third one is a male Miami-phase (het hypo), Daytona.
Fourth one is an '04 female motley I raised from two of my breeders, Monterey.
Fifth one is my female hypo blood (still thin from laying a clutch).

And a few more.

First is an '04 female snow motley/stripe, Avalanche.
Second is an '04 female amel, Fiesta.
Third is an '04 female butter motley, Oleo.

Oops, forgot to identify that last one -- an '04 female hypo snow.

One of the neatest things about the registry, I think, is that we can actually check out all the snakes that someone submits for registering. For instance, if anyone sees any of my posts and wants to know what kind of snakes I have, they can go to the registry -- at http://cornguide.com/ACR/home.php -- and search under breeder ID (my number is 77). That will bring up a page with all 40+ registered snakes in my collection (will be a bunch more, after my 8 clutches hatch and I select the "keepers").

By browsing the registry, you can really see the countless variations in color of various morphs, which is very educational. Of course, the only problem with being able to see everyone elses' snakes is that, while I've browsed the registry, I've seen a bunch that I WANT!
