Banded Miami Motley (no aka)
Most Commonly Used Name: Banded Miami Motley
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Selective Variation + Recessive Mutation

Morph Type: Selective Variant of Single Recessive Motley


What to expect:
As with most corn snake neonates, expect young Banded Miami Motleys to have relatively bland coloration for at least one year.  Compared to other corn snake morphs, relative to color changing through maturation, this line predictably demonstrates vibrant brick-reddish markings on a gray or silver background.  BTW, the pattern mutation, Motley virtually always alters color and markings – if only slightly. Patterns are often less distinct and colors are sometimes slightly softened in Motley mutants – compared to non-Motleys.  Our Banded Miami Motleys can vary from having only some banded markings going only half way down the sides toward the ventral crest to banded markings that all touch the ventral crest – where the ventral scales meet the lateral scales.

Important Note:
The advertising images on our web site are representations of the average adult example of each morph.  These images are not renderings of the actual animals being offered, (except for uniquely offered snakes found in the SURPLUS section of this web site).  We do not provide pictures of individual hatchling snakes for sale, nor do we recommend that you ever choose a new pet based on an image of its neonatal form.  Corns change so dramatically from hatchling to adult, they will NEVER have the same colors or contrasts throughout maturity. While most of the snakes we produce will mature to resemble the featured adult image(s) on our web site, unlike manufactured products that are respectively clones of each other, the nature of polygenic variation results in each animal being similar but not identical to others of its morph. The snake we select for you may not mature to be identical to the pictured examples, but will be chosen based on our experience of observing which neonates will mature to properly represent their respective morph.  We take this responsibility very seriously, and therefore publish the guarantee that we will exchange your SMR snake if it does not mature to be like our advertised examples.
