THE "STILLMAN CORN"

Hybrids - intergrades

Thanks KJ for clearing that up... note the first thing I said was IF I remember right from ecology class, apparently I do not. It's been a while :) It was a really cool class though, I still have the textbook somewhere, probably should have looked in it before posting :dunce:
With how much the North American rat snakes get moved from one genus to another and reclassified it makes more sense your way anyhow! At least the scientists can agree the species are different most of the time.
 
That is very very interesting. I'm really hoping to seeing something awesome come out of this!!

Maybe a few more will pop up soon and then a blending into other morphs, and who knows. A new corn patter might just hit up the market. :D
If it does, I'm totally getting one!!
 
Thanks for the comments. The mother (Deceased as well) was captured in Florida. If I remember correctly somewhere near St. Pete.Which is S.W. FL.
That means Emory is out! If it was a hybrid the closest thing would be a yellow rat. But with this pattern I doubt it highly. I believe some of the hatchlings that were split between 3 people, passed from not wanting to eat. Adam this snakes owner would have more info on it than I would. As far as pics of siblings, I will have to get them sent to my email, and then I can post them.
Thanks again, Steve R.
 
Wow! So pretty .. the face though on the second pic is rather odd "to me" almost looks ratish? just my opinion but are you sure there isn't another breed within?

Very pretty though I love how the pattern breaks up in the red one.I agree the brown snakes pattern is similar to the pattern on the back of the red. And Oh it has a white belly.. Very Unique indeed :)
 
Did your crosses with motley yield anything unusual? Saw on your website the babies you are raising are all normals looking. Were those from a w/c cross breeding?

Very interesting looking animal :)
 
Thanks, now I know where it made me think of... the twin spotted ratsnake :)

LOL!! Thanks! As my luck would have it, nothing unusual came from the breeding of this guys babies. Starting to think it was a incubation mishap that caused the original male to have the look he had. Adam Stillman of ST. PETERSBURG, FL. hatched the eggs, and let me borrow the male for the project.
The weird thing about the male was as a hatchling he looked kinda normal, except some blotches were connected. Over time and several shed skins he went from having blotches to twin spots. VERY STRANGE! Which was why I didnt immediately think it was from incubation. Well I guess Ill hang on to these new babies and see if anything happens.

Would be cool though to have the first ontogenetic pattern mutation in Corns!
