Finally Got My Male!!

3rd times a charm right? This is the 3rd MALE amel cornsnake I have purchased since January and this one is actually a male!!!


Meet Casanova, he is a 2009 proven male amel motley


He is going to be a busy boy next breeding season!!

are you sure its a male? lol

lol! Yes he sired a clutch but I still probed him when I got home He is 100% male! I have some ladies lines up for him already and breeding seaon starts in January! lol

Oooh he is so handsome.

Lets hope he lives up to his name! lol
Congratulations, he is gorgeous or should I say handsome, glad to hear that he is proven/seasoned

Nice amelanistic corn.....it has very reduced "black" pattern....now white being an amel. These were once called sunglows (amel hypos or hybinos).....the normal ones with reduced black pattern were misnamed hypos years ago......they were lacking black pattern but not black pigmentation. The black they did have was all melanin...not reduced melanin.....

Since then there have been many true hypomelanistics produced with truly reduced melanin...

Very nice looking fellow! What a life he'll have with all the females you have lined up Congrats!!

Awesome! Just hope your other male is ready to divide and share his concubines.

Yep Amel removes all black pigment, in the eyes and body
He also has the motley gene, which is a pattern trait, which makes dot's down the back and removes belly checkers

Next years breeding plans:
FlameStrike my diffused/blood het caramel boy will be paired with Magma diffused/blood(100% bloods possible caramels if Magma is also het) and Zomba amel het diffused and caramel(Caramels, bloods, caramel bloods and normals)

Casanova will be paired with:
Venus, amel motley should be 100% amel mots
Mars, amel motley should be 100% amel mots
Heart, Amel should be 100% amels het mot
Possibley
Cosma, anery motley, would be a good test to see if he carries anery and if she carries amel, if nothing matches then 100% normal motleys

Striker redcoat normal will be bred with Lyra redcoat normal motley hopefully some really red normals het motley babies

Just pointing out that it has reduced black pattern and reduced black pigment.
Most amels have the white border around the red saddle.....
Yours has only a few white areas......like the first sunglows......

Looks like you got it all figured out though.....
