Introducing the 'Sunshine Corn' - the worlds first Butter Striped Sunkissed

Now that is KICK @$$ , BIG TIME !!!
A HUGE congrats on hitting that. Just curious on how many eggs in the clutch?

The reason I ask is, I hit a 1/64 in a 19 egg clutch last year with my Honey Bloodred. I really love to see the high odds being hit and proving it can be done.

AMAZING looking snake !!

:crazy02:BOUT' CORNS !!
I had the same odds on my normal het honey blood clutch. I wanted one of honey blood or sunkissed blood.. I got 2 honey blood and one sk blood lolo.. all male, mega lucky on that one. That was 19 eggs I think on mine.

I would love to see pics. of your Honey Bloods to compare to mine, how about it?

That is WAY TOO COOL! Congrats! Like everyone's said, post pictures of it as it gets older! That is one interesting snake...
 
The trade name "Saffron" has already been established for the gene combination of Amel, Caramel and Sunkissed. There's already been some of these produced by a few different breeders, so introducing a new name for an existing morph will only cause unnecessary confusion I'd think. Also, off the top of my head, I can't think of when a pattern trait calls for a new trade name. For example, a Butter with a Motley pattern is only called a Butter Motley, not a new trade name. The addition of Stripe in this situation would seem to only make it a Saffron Stripe. Anyway, if Saffron is hard to remember, Sunkissed Butter Stripe would be the easiest to understand. Just saying...:)

I did those poor ones you saw the other day, but now I have a new camera, so will start to get some more and clearer ones very soon,

I suppose though its a whole new morph, not like where some areas of the world call a morph one thing and other areas something different.

That is the thing ... it is not a whole new morph. Sunkissed Butters already exist (in the U.S. and overseas).
Even if this is the first Stripe, of this morph, it is, still, not a new morph ... it is an existing Morph that happens to have a specific pattern (via a known pattern gene).
Here in the U.S., at least, a Morph's name is not changed just because it has a different pattern (different than a normal pattern)... not sure that it is any different elsewhere.
Whatever though ... a myriad, of confusion, already exists ... what's one more?<rhetorical> ;)
 
This one (It's a male :laugh01:) comes out of the first clutch (19 eggs)
from three.
All in all I have 56 eggs and maybe there will be one or two second clutches.
I look forward what's hatching next, there are still 45 eggs....
Hoping for a Caramel Sunkissed Striped.

I know they exist, thats why I made my comments.
I understand what you mean, but I think some people look at it as its an extra gene on a snake that hasnt been produced before. therefor he/she is the 1st to ever produce one of those, and should have naming rights. Just my opinion.
 
Talk about hitting the odds. I can only remember one time hitting a 1 in 256 and even that was iffy as it was maybe a sunkissed anery amel blood...the blood part was not the easiest to tell so I was never sure about that. I've hit 1 in 64's plenty of times.

Congrats in any case...awesome hatch!
 
Congrats on the jackpot!!! :)

I agree.

Even if someone considers adding Stripe or Motley gene to a known morph creates a new morph, talk about confusion if EVERY patterned variety of a morph would have it's own name! Ghost is Ghost, Ghost Motley is Mist, Ghost Stripe is Fog, Snow Motley is Frost, Snow Stripe is... We'd run out of "nature words" like snow, blizzard, granite, sunshine etc.

Besides, not all motleys for example have very clear and distinct Motley pattern. Sometimes identifying Motley can be difficult for an unexperienced eye. If for example Ghost Motleys were named Mist, how many would end up not understanding there is a pattern gene involved in the first place. Mist sounds like there could also be a Mist Stripe or Mist Motley too.

And what about Motley-Stripes? If Sunkissed Butter Stripe is Sunshine, what is Sunkissed Butter Motley and Sunkissed Butter Motley-Stripe?

Just a thought.
 
I will call him Butter Striped Sunkissed, so everybody knows it.

By the Side, here is the next world's first...

Simply amazing! Anything related to Sunkissed Stripe is my favorite! Congrats big time! As far as I'm concerned, you hit the jackpot three times!
 
It's always been said that a morph's name answers to the consumer. Since any saffron I have ever seen tends to be red/orange, that Sunkissed Stripe looks a lot more like saffron than the Butter Sunkissed Stripe. Just sayin'.

Towards the argument that pattern morph combinations shouldn't have their own trade name, take a peak at all the Sunkissed Stripe combinations that have been shared. Sunkissed mixed with Stripe and/or Motely creates such a visually distinct and unique pattern that I personally do not immediately think Stripe, I think WOW. it may be relevant and necessary for a distinct trade name. :shrugs:

Gorgeous snakes and congrats on hitting the odds. That's always a great feeling!
