2013 Corn and Rat Pairings

I will use this thread to document this seasons Corn and Ratsnake pairings. This will be the last year for several of my Colubrid projects.

N.C. F1 New Hanover Co. SC Corns, I also have an F2 female from this project I may pair up with the male. My goal with this project is a thicker, black saddle with the deep orange background.


Ultramel corns, het anery B, the charcoal ultramels are AWESOME!


Mandarin Ratsnakes


I will post more as they develop. I should continue to add a few projects every few days for the next few weeks. Thanks for following....

I have been anticipating the future of this project. These are SO VERY DIFFERENT from my other locales of North Carolina corns. This is my South Mountain N.C. F1 pair of corns. I will get better photos after the male has shed.

I breed my corns and got a clutch. Some one told me to cut them 2-3 days before hatched to ensure higher hatch rate. Thanks for any info.
