The "F" stands for Filial. Webster's defines it as "a generation in a breeding experiment that is successive to a mating between parents of two distinctively different but usually relatively pure genotypes"

F1 is the first generation or first breeding generally where traits are mixed. The F2 is where you bring the traits together from het animals.

Sorry got carried away.

Re: Beautiful!

So, if these beauties are your F2's, what were the first two snakes in the project?
Yes, of course, the first Nigritis was there, but what Morph were the Corns involved?

Actually I used L. g. nigra instead of nigritis, I originally bred a male snow corn to a female black king (nigra) and produced 1.7 F1 animals. I kept one female and raised her up. This year she was bred back to the snow corn, resulting in the F2's pictured. I also did the original corn X king cross to produce more F1's.

Doesn't the F1 baby look a little like a Splendida?
Or is it just me?

Yep, very much so. But as they get older, they look more like floridana. How weird is that? Attached is a pic.

Here is a pic of the original mating that produced the F1s:

Dwight,

I am surprised you still have pics dating back that far.

Dwight,

Oh yeah? I think I got my Nikon N2000 in '97, here is a pic of a cool clutch of pure corns from '98. That's about as far as my pics go back though. All my older pics were reeaaaaally crappy.. taken with a point and shoot 35mm,
