Snake of the Day 09-30-13

 
DAY093013
This 2013 Amel Buf is now 16″ long and eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.  Of course, Amel is a mutation that is recessive to wild-type, but this is also a homozygote of the dominant mutation, Buf.  Pairing this to any corn snake other than a Buf-type results in approximately 50% Buf corns in the first out-crossed generation.  If bred to any Amel, all of the progeny will be Amels, approximately half of which will be Amel Buf corns.
