Three New Pickups! (DUW, lots of pics!)

[PyramidPythons]

I was cruising through the local ads yesterday and came across a deal that I just could not say no to. My hubby is ready to kill me. Sadly enough, I wasn't fast enough to pickup the Anery Motley I wanted, so I had to settle for a normal Motley, but just let me say that she is fantastic! I was able to get a male Amel Stripe, a female Normal Motley and a female Hypo, all for $80. Here's the few pics I snapped before settling them into their quarantine tanks.

Very nice! I especially like the Amel stripe one.

Thanks guys. I'm really stoked to have these three. I can hardly wait to start introducing motley, stripe and hypo into some of my offspring. I'm rather new to genetics and still learning as I go, but I think I have a good start with the 9 Corns I have. Could maybe someone with a little more experience tell me what sort of combos I could possibly create with my group? I have a female snow, a male snow (high yellow), a female amel, a male Abbott's Okeetee, a female opal, a male Lavender...and now a female normal motley, a male amel stripe and a female hypo. I'm already considering pairing the hypo with my lavender to get some hypo lavenders. All of this will be a couple of years down the road, since they're still too small for breeding, but I'd appreciate any insight and/or info anyone could give me.

Great pickups! I especially love the motley, with that clean continuous spotting - very nice.

As for breeding combos, corn snake genetics are quite confusing... not to mention, they can have all sorts of hidden hets. I'd suggest checking out this "genetic calculator," and playing around with the different choices. Have fun! http://geneticcalculator.traxxtec.de/en/rechner.aspx
