this is a all white snow. it's the combination of Amel,Anery, and Lavender. both parents were Snows het Lavender. out of the 17 hatchlings, 15 were snows and 2 were completely white. Is this called a pearl? he's 2 1/2 years old now. he's an awesome snake. enjoy the photo.

Based upon the genetics involved I would say that your White Snows are Snow Lavenders. Only one in four would be a Snow Lavender, while the rest would be Snows het Lavender and Snows. Two out of seventeen is within the expected ratio.

I am not sure what they are called at the moment. Ultimate Corns is working with them and has proposed “Glacier” Corn for their common name. It has been thought at one time that Pearls were a result of a Snow Lavender mix, but it seems to be an unpopular theory at the moment.

Most people feel that Opals and Pearls are just Amel Lavenders that are within the normal range of phenotypes within that morph. I have extremely pink Opals and one pure white Opal, that I know are not homo Anery A. The Pearl Opal has more pattern than your “White” Snows have from what I can tell from the photo you posted of them.

Ultimate Corn has not posted photos of their super secret project, but Rick Z has said that his Snow Lavenders appeared to look like Snows, but he did not raise them up to adults. I am not sure how confident you are about the genetics involved in the parent snakes, but is it possible that Anery B is in the mix as well. I think this could be a possibility, since Anery A and B can be floating around in each others morphs. They do resemble Blizzards. I actually can not recall seeing a photo of a known Snow Lavender, that did not look like a Snow.
 
that's a nice looking snake wikked.

joe, i've seen ultimate corns snow lavender or "glacier" and while i can't tell you what it looks like (it's just not my place to do so) it definately does not look like a snow, i promise you that.
 
I don't know if it's just my TFT Display, but I would say you did a little but too much in the lightning of the snake. It nearly glows.
I bet this is novice photoshop work. Just watch the leaves next to the snake and compare them to leaves that are a little away from it.

I can't wait to see them. I am not sure what the benefit is of keeping their appearance so secretive. I think a little advanced advertising would be a good thing. It seems as if the genetic make up is already know. I guess there is some other ingredient they are protecting.

Since Snows can vary tremendously, I would expect the Snow Lavenders could vary just as much. Opals are the same way, so I would expect that a Snow Lavender could be extremely pink or pure white, depending on the secondary genes that they carry. I guess we could add yellow, greenish/yellow and orange cast to the list of possibilities as well, however, "Glacier" Corns gives me the image of a white snake.

It is hard for me to believe that they do not look like any phase of the Snow Morph or the Opal Morph, but I guess we will have to wait for the unveiling sometime after the 05 breeding season.
 
i've never seen a hatchling, only an adult. so i have no idea what the glaciers look like as babies.

SORRY, BUT NO PHOTOSHOP WORK HERE BUDDY. Quite honestly i don't know how to do that stuff anyhow. my bro took the photo for me and put it on my PC for me,AND he showed me how to upload it onto this site.


the father of this snake (he was snow het lavender) was bred to a blizzard the following year to see if these were indeed blizzards. that clutch had 14 hatchlings and all of them were amelanistics, so the father doesn't have charcoal in his genes. i don't know about mom, because she has only been bred to the male snow het lavender. mom is snow het lavender too.


i bet this glacier cornsnake looks identical to mine. it's probably an all white snake. that's what i would think when hearing the term glacier.

This answers my question about the possibility of the Charcoal gene being in the mix.

I would not be surprised if they look like yours either, except that I would think that Rich Z and others would have noticed that as well. There could be other possibilities. How about a pattern less gene?

What did your White Snows look like as hatchlings? I know other people who hatched out Snow Lavenders this year and they did not notice any difference between the Snows in the Clutch.
 
A Coral Snow Lavender sounds intriguing! How about a Striped or Motley Coral Snow Lavender. Quintuple Homo Corns, can you imagine?!
