Fluorescent (aka: Fluorescent Orange)
Most Commonly Used Name:Fluorescent
Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Recessive+Selective Variation
Morph Type: Selective variant of single recessive mutation
Eye Color: Red pupil
Genetically speaking, Fluorescent corns are Amel corns that have been selectively bred to promote their target look (red or orange blotches on an orange background, with separating white blotch margins). Since the only mutationthey possess is Amel, the obvious distinction between Fluorescents and the average Amel corn is the distinctive color scheme. Fluorescent corns are similar to Reverse Okeetees, but differ by having more solid blotches and ground color zones, and a more shocking color contrast between white blotch margins and adjacent colors. Many Reverse Okeetees have cluttered color zones with obvious litter of white and/or different color stippling. Fluorescents have more saturated and un-littered color zones. Our Fluorescent corns have less red in them, since their origins are from novel high-color Okeetees mixed with clean Amel corns, but infusion of the Red Mask Mutation is showing promising results, in the realm of altering the orange markings to be more red ones. SMR Fluorescents and Reverse Okeetees are not hybrids of any other species.
What to expect:
Neonate Fluorescent corns vary little from their adult counterparts, with the usual exception of being more color saturated at maturity. Expect to see little color or white clutter in all color zones, and thicker white blotch borders than typical Amel corns. Colors can vary from one specimen to another, but all have more deeply saturated oranges and less reds than their Reverse Okeetee counterparts.
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.
