    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

NEVER let an amelanistic corn play with a magic marker!!

Killer! Is that genetic? Not that I'd be happy to see Kenyan sand boas lose their corner on the paradox market.

If you crossed a red speckled axanthic with a black speckled amel, it would just explode upon hatching: agree or disagree?

corn

What am i missing here? The snake obviously didnt play with a Permanent Marker :) So why does an Amelanistic snake have black in it?
Forgive my ignorance please
 
At this point, I would not even try to guess at the cause of this phenomenon. But I seem to get a couple oddities every year hatching out.

I have no idea whether it is something that can be predictably expressed genetically or not. I only have a few oddballs, and none are big enough to breed yet. There are a few more examples scattered in my SerpenCo photo gallery on my CornSnakes.com forums you may find of interest.
 
I think that you would be able to continue to express that trait again. Th emagic marker corn! melanism is an expressable trait and i think its no more than some stubborn melanism.
