Ever seen one this dark before?

Lets suppose for a minute he is a hypermelanistic corn and it proves genetic, would anyone buy his offspring?

Sure, I bet people would buy them, though corn morphs tend to run much cheaper than ball morphs.

Also keep back some of his daughters if he doesn't prove genetic. A lot of corn morphs are recessive.

I was thinking it would be recessive, because hypos and amels are. Now I just have to decide how many corns I can house, lol. And I guess I need to brush up on my corn morphs and values to see where this could possibly take me.

This thread on may be of interest you.

Wow, really never realized how many variants there are by locale. Still none of those seem quite as dark as mine, the one post of the snake from Hernando Co. Fl. is one of the closest but I feel mine is at least a few shades darker. The one from Edmonson Co. Ky. a little further down the page looks a lot closer. Still not quite though.

There are like 2 corn snake morphs that aren't reccesive. So odds are if it is a morph, it's reccesive. Just saying.

Tessera is dominant and while motley and stripe are recessive, they interact differently with eachother if there is no copy of the normal morph, however I forget which is dominant over the other (I believe that stripe is dominant over motley). What two were you talking about Andrew?

That's interesting stuff how the stripe and motley work when paired.

There is one called buff. i think it was found in germany and it might not even be in the states yet. I believe it is dominant.
