    Re: New Butter

    Sometimes the breeder can be mistaken. I had a friend who worked at a Petsmart and one day she calls me and says "We have a pastel ball python in the store! I didn't think we'd get one in but a guy who breeds ball pythons came in and said it was a pastel." So of course I go to the store to see this "pastel" and sure enough it is a normal. Some average blushing maybe (my normal female has more blushing than my pastel) but definitely not a pastel and my friend readily believed him that it was a pastel when in fact it wasn't, so you can never be too sure when a breeder labels an animal as something.

    And it could very well be a case of retained sperm or maybe he forgot that he paired an amel with the female. I am no corn snake breeder, though I hope to start breeding corn snakes very soon but from what I've seen of amel babies and butter babies, that looks like an amel to me.

    I know we are just beating a dead horse (gosh I hate that phrase) but I would do a little more research on your breeder and ask him to send photos of BOTH parents, updated ones, with perhaps a current date in the background just to make sure. I dunno. Just a thought....
