ok so this pic is very cool thought i would share it. but it has to be photoshopped right? no way this occurs in a morph. oh well real or not its a cool pic like i said and its something to talk about. oh yea and i completely dismiss the possibility that some one painted this snake i refuse ok i choose not to believe that anyone would paint a snake no matter how cool it turned out.

No, that is a totally authentic morph!

It is Bill's latest multi-morph that he coined the "Kaleidoscope" corn. Sort of puts Soderberg's "Palmetto" corn on the rear burner in my opinion.

I totally heard about that, super interesting
 
New to corns are babies are a anery amel and a snowy but how freaking cool is that if that is really a morph I don't mean to sound ignorant but on corns I am so its ok who is "bill" and "soderberg" and what exactly is a palmetto as long as I'm at it there's another one what's a terresa
 
I've been seeing that picture ever since I first searched for pictures of corn snakes on google... Is it truly a morph? I always just assumed it was a really clever photoshop... o_O

Bill = Bill Love, the artist behind that photograph. And yes, it is photoshopped.

Soderberg = Don Soderberg at South Mountain Reptiles, owner and distributor of the palmetto morph. Check out his site at cornsnakes.net.

Tessera = Search the forums and heaps of pictures will show up.
 
Thanks angela , I've seen lots of really cool snakes over the past few months hope to figure out what makes what there just seem to be so many possibilities the other day my pet store guy had a baby amel that was found on someones patio they thought it might be poisonous atleast they didn't kill first ask questions later but its just amazing to me that these are genetic freakshows this stuff happens in the wild as well as in the homes of breeders again thanks to every one for the conversations

Yeah, I was just messin' around and having some fun with my sarcasm about the cornsnake photo Bill photoshopped..LOL!.. :)

Anyway, yes,..... there are more interesting morphs and variables of them than you can possibly shake a stick at now days, and plenty more on the way.

I have a trio of them!!!! :dancer:
( Ok, I wish I did! )
 
Yea, How cool would they be?!!!!

You have your Amels, Ghosts, Gold Dusts, Striped, Tesseras and last but not least, your M&M's!
 
Heck, YEARS ago I did a spoof page on my SerpenCo site with all kinds of color adjusted animals. I had to take it down, because many people did not read the disclaimer and were wanting to know when they could send deposits for those animals. :laugh: If I were a little smarter and a LOT more crooked, I guess I could have made a fortune doing that with the ball pythons during the heights of the big bucks craze and then retired to my own private island off of Costa Rica....
 
Yea, you sure could have!
But then again, after being gone for the most part a number of years I am amazed there are still some in the hobby that haven't already done that!

Yes, and while over there you could have also gotten a few more genuinely authentic milksnake subspecies imported here to the states. As there are precious few uncompromised Latin American subspecies left in the hobby now. There are definitely a small number of them to be had if one knows the right sources, but not many. And there are a few types that there are absolutely NONE of here at all. By the same token though, that is what makes the ones that ARE still very authentic so highly revered and sought after by a few of us hardcore milksnake buffs :dancer:

Anyway, I didn't mean to steer off-topic, .........just sayin' :grin01:

BTW, the lone killer L.t. nelsoni specimen I got from you back in 1995 in Ft. Lauderdale at the "Fern Forest" show was one of THE nicest "textbook" specimens there was in the hobby before they were even much known by most hobbyists just before the rush to produce amel nelsoni and get more crossed into the far more commonly kept Sinaloan's in the hobby. Now good examples are harder to find, and there are far more crossed intermediates in today's hobby. That and most people not knowing the key meristic characteristics between the two anyway are the reasons for this. But heck, it isn't any different than most other colubrids in the hobby now. There is more hybrids and man-made crosses today than anyone could possibly shake a stick at. Pretty disappointing to me and many others, but that is just how it is now and actually makes some of the real examples of things still left un-tainted the truly rare stuff now.....:shrugs:



cheers, ~Doug
