What to do??

[Blue Apple Herps]

Thanks, Matt. I was waiting to hear from one of the 'Corn people' here.

You're right, and although I like Creamsicles I don't think they would really fit into my "gang" here. It's a great deal, and I would love to get them into proper homes, but I think I'll pass.

Probably for the better then, I've gotten snakes on a whim, then a month or two later realized I wasn't that into them as I thought I'd be. Would always feel like a chore rather than a hobby with those snakes.

Now I make sure whenever I buy something that I really really REALLY want it. Now everything is a hobby again, and even though I have a good amount of 'chores' they don't feel that way.

However, I'm still going to keep my eyes open for a potential breedable female corn at the expo in August. Right now I have ghost and amel males and snow, hypobloodred, and anery females. With that group, what would you all suggest I look for in a new corn were I to get one?

Well, you have hypo, anery, and amel in the mix with the males. And hypo, bloodred, anery, and amel with the girls, so some good overlap there, but would just give you more of the same.

If it was me I'd look for something that maybe had a gene or two in common with the males, but also had another gene thrown in, so you could start making some fun hets and neat snakes down the road. It all depends on what floats your boat.

Something like a hypo lavender or an amber female would be good. If you got a hypo lavender, you could breed her to your ghost to produce hypos het anery lavender. Then breed back the F2 and get hypo anery lavenders.

I don't know that anyone has produced any hypo anery lavenders, and if they have are pretty rare. Would be a good way to get in on something very unique and the F2 would totally unique from anything you already have.

Anything with ultra in the mix could be cool, golddust, ultramel anery. But again, its up to what floats your boat. But my vote is for the hypo anery lavender project.
