Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

For those of you that may not know, Lloyd Lemke was one of the pioneers of breeding snakes in captivity. Many of my Corn lines came from him and were some of the original lines of many morphs. He was a good friend and will always be missed.

Hey Steve,
Thanks for the pics you emailed me.
I am now a true believer. GORGEOUS...that "bubblegum" is the brightest snow I have EVER seen...
The pink and green is very pretty but the pink in the pic you have on this thread is absolutely amazing.
I apologize for doubting you, but it is not everyday someone posts a snake with that kind of coloration.
Joe,
If you say it is so, I must believe it.
Your reputation in cornsnake breeding and husbandry precedes you. From everything I have seen, you are among the cutting edge breeders in the industry right now. Your getting involved in this thread shows me that I was definitely mistaken. Thanks for setting this straight.
Derek

Actually, I have never seen Steve’s Bubblegum Corns, but I have talked to Steve many times and have no reason to disbelieve him. I have heard from people who have seen them and they say they look just like the photos. I did know that Steve’s Snows were Bubblegums from Lloyd, who I knew very well, and his stock had been selectively bred for the pink coloration for many generations, long before Steve got them.
Steve has obviously brought out the best in that line that I have ever seen. I have heard of others that were extremely pink from that line as well. Many other lines of Snows and Opals have recently popped up with very intense pink coloration as well. I also know how hard it is to get good photos of the pinks in Corns. You have to take a lot of photos under different lighting conditions and pick the ones that look the closest to their true color.
I also feel that everybody should get a chance to present their side of the story. Some of Steve’s photos do look a little off, but it is nearly impossible to get the pink color right, unless the other lighting conditions are off a little. Some of the new high dollar cameras take very nice close up photos of their true color, but Steve and I do not have the latest models.

I agree that it can be VERY hard to properly photograph the pinks in snow and opal cornsnakes...that is one of the reasons it was hard for me to believe that these were the actual colors under "normal" lighting as opposed to a blacklight. I feel blacklighting would be intentional misrepresentation of the animal. In this case, however, the animals are just that gorgeous.
Like I said I have never seen a snow corn this magnificent, making it easy to disbelieve...especially (I hate to say it) in a kingsnake classified ad. Seems there are a lot of people misrepresenting animals on that site, and everywhere for that matter.
What a truly gorgeous specimen...wish I had a pair of these...I have a really pretty snow male...but NOTHING like this. An absolute work of art. Thanks to both of you guys, Steve and Joe...and to Lloyd for all his work...his contribution to herpetology is unended.
