The original animal these came from was a wild caught Upper Keys corn that I got from a guy back in 1996. This was an older guy visiting up in Birmingham, Alabama, where we were doing our one and only show we did up there. He was interested in trading it for a leopard gecko, so for some odd reason I agreed to it. I needed another corn snake like I needed another hole in my head. But for some reason I decided to do it. Maybe my "spider sense" was working, because obviously this animal was carrying something genetically rather interesting. Of course, there is no way to find out exactly where this animal came from.
I bred Hypo into this female in an attempt to get Hypomelanistic Upper Keys. Well when I bred the resulting offspring together, I got a few of these anerythristic looking critters to hatch out. I just thought they were likely to be either Charcoals or type 'A' Anerythristics, but something about them just looked a bit different. So last year I bred those het animals to both charcoal mates and 'A' Anerythristic mates. NONE of the babies came out as either Charcoals or Anerythristics. Hmmm.. So this year I finally had 2.1 adults, so I bred those males to some Charcoal Ghosts and some Silver Queen Ghosts. I figure when the eggs hatch, then I should have a much better idea of what I am working with.
Below are a few photos of two younger animals. These are much more colorful then the slightly older animal in the first photo. Not sure why that is, but it does give this line an interesting dimension, I think.
