    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Well so far I have only introduced one of my snakes here on fauna. But I think I should introduce my corn snakes here too. This is one of my favorite snakes to introduce. I have no idea what morph she is. I know she is some sort of hypo. So, I like to ask you guys. What do you think she is?

Now for the pictures!

Sorry, didn't elaborate on that. Mine are Hypo het amber bloodred.
 
Actually, this looks like one of the ultra/ultramels I used to produce.
 
Yup I know she is a hypo. Just not sure what kind. I think it's fun guessing for now. She wont be ready to breed for another 2 or 3 years. She is a yearling now. But a little small so I'll give her an extra year to be safe. I think it would be easier to test her with several different males instead of just one with all the hets that I need to prove her with. It would be really hard to tell the difference between a batch of different hypos lol!

One form of hypo that I forgot all about was lava. I looked them up and she might be one. I'm going to try and get a sunkissed lava and a sunkissed ultra or ultramel to test breed her if possible. Then if we get all normal babies I'll go to a regular ol' hypo. Now I'd really be stumped if that didn't prove anything lol.
 
It's hard for me to really tell for sure in those particular pics, but if it has deep ruby-red pupils, it is a lava(hypo type C). The milky translucent blotch borders it is displaying are also very indicative of it being a lava.

Very nice! :thumbsup:

Little Update

Well since this thread got bumped up I thought I would go ahead and update.

I used to think this snake was female but I finally probed "her" and "she" is a "he". Which actually works out well for me. Must easier to test breed as I can pair him up with a bunch of ladies.

As a baby his belly had caramel and chocolate colored checkers with an orange color was on the lower part of her belly.

At almost a year old the orange on her belly developed a lot more and now you can't even see most of the checkers except for the darker sides which gives her belly a strange appearance.

The first quarter of her belly is still white with light caramel colored checkers. I don't have a picture of that yet as this little guy has a pretty bad attitude and belly pictures are hard to get by myself.

Here is the upper belly where the color was starts:

This is the mid to lower belly:
