Pied corn

Last year at daytona I found a guy that had pied corns. I figured I would hear about them on the web in no time. I have since heard nothing. Has anyone else seen or heard about them? the guy was super cool, had a adult and babies for sale.

do you remember the name of the breeder? I do know of pied-sided bloodred corns and only a handful of people have them, and they are expensive. I do know that there was a pied corn, but from what I remember reading (was a while back), it was not genetic or known if it was genetic. Of course I could be behind on this and somebody has managed to actually produce pied corns, which would be awesome. Did you happen to take pictures? It would be great to see.

Rob stevens!

The king of pieds. I saw them last year at the ETHS show, and will see him agian in sept. There pretty cool.:D

Rainwater reptiles had them on his price list about 8-10 years ago. I believe they were $6000-$8000 ea.

Not sure what happened to them when he stopped his herp company to join to the real estate business.

They were really cool corns, expecially for the time.

Yeah, so far they've only showed up in bloodreds. As far as I know it hasn't been determined if its a trait that can be separated from bloodred.

It's also only a 'side pattern pied' with the white on the side.

:]

the ones i seen where blood reds i think. I dont remeber the name or have a pic DOH!! I honestly thought it would be big soon after lol. I do remeber the price being low or so i thought. I cant remeber if it was hets or homozygous animals but babies were 800.
Guess Ill be looking again this year lol

Rainwaters so called pied corns were not really pied to begin with. All offspring were born normally but then after some time would have rough sheds where they would lose pigment over areas of their bodies. I saw a write up of this where it was determined that this 'pied' condition was actually some kind of hereditary skin disease similar to Vitiligo in human beings.
