What type of corn is this???

[b23ball23]

this is a corn that was accidental kinked, and the breeder let me take care of him until I buy a pair from him.

What type of corn is this...i was thinking ghost corn (possible motley??)

Yup. That look like a pretty little ghost.

Ghost i would say definately No motley from what i can see. But normal ghosts are just as precious

ghost has my vote. John

I am not 100% certain that is a ghost based on that picture. It could be an anery. Could you get a lighter picture?

 

[b23ball23]

ok thats what I thought..i'll try to get more to make sure though

I've got a couple of anery's het ghost that popped out that light this year, so wouldn't be definite that it's a ghost.

i agree, when i 1st saw it i thought it was an anery. then again, if you got it from an honest breeder and they say its a ghost, then it probably is.
as for the motley bit, top part does, but a lot of normal patterned corns look like motleys at the top and as we cant see the rest of the snake its hard to say.

 

[CornCrazy]

Are there checkers on the belly?

 

[Joejr14]

Looks like a regular anery to me---doesn't really look like a ghost and I don't think it's a motley either.

 

[b23ball23]

yeah, the belly is checkered, ruling out motley

so you say its possibly not ghost??

It may or may not be a ghost. When I lightened the picture, it looks more like a ghost (than in the first picture). It's hard to tell for certain when altering the brightness of a picture, though. What were you told he was?

And yes, the checkers rule out motley.

 

[b23ball23]

i was told he was ghost....i'll go take some more pics for you guys......

i'll try to get better ones

here these might be better

Ghost for sure, but definitely not motley from what I can tell from the back.

Motley corns have saddles that curve around to form circles all down the back. Like this one:

Is this corn yours to keep? Or what?

 

[ghosthousecorns]

I think it looks Anery also - maybe a het ghost, you should see if you can ask the breeder what the parents were

 

[b23ball23]

it was my temporary corn!?!?!

The breeder accidentally brought a kinked snake to the show, and said I could take care of it before I bought another one(he closed a lid on it on accident)


So i'm giving it back to him on Nov. 5th, then buying sub-adult pair (yearlings) that are het. bloodreds. This of coarse is if the price is right. I'm planning to breed in a couple years.

by the way, anyone know a good site to buy the Kathy Love book on corns???

GOD BLESS
