Breeder Comments

“This is a selectively bred variation of the striped gene. We had a very rare chance of obtaining this morph, and you can imagine our surprise when it popped out of the egg. We produced this corn snake by crossing a hypomelanistic female heterozygous for anery, amel and stripe to a snow (amel, anery) striped male heterozygous for hypo.  His clutchmates also include a normal vanishing stripe and an amelanistic stripe.”
