Abbott's Okeetee Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

A regional/selective variant of the Classic Corn. Beginning in the 1960's, famed herpetologist Carl Kauffeld extolled the virtues of cornsnakes collected in the Okeetee area. Intensely colored, with heavy black markings, some specimens from this area are very attractive corns. A few breeders focused on selecting and refining their bloodlines and Lee Abbott's are among the best of those. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Amel Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Amelanism, a recessive mutation. aka Red Albino Cornsnake. Bright red on a cream to yellowish background with varying amounts of orange. These are the typical Cornsnake without the black pigment. More of these exist in captivity than any other form - and for good reason. They are beautiful and make great pets!

Butter Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Amelanism and Caramel, two recessive mutations. Essentially an albino Caramel. These start out looking like oddly colored Snow Corns, but turn brighter and brighter yellow as they grow. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Caramel Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Caramel, a recessive mutation. A new mutation developed by a prominent Florida breeder. Enhanced yellows and decreased reds create a unique snake with caramel colored markings on a yellowish gray background. They are simply gorgeous and form the basis of a whole raft of 'new' colors!

Charcoal Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Charcoal, a recessive mutation. Genetically different than the more common Anerythristic. Also known as the "Pine Island Black Albino" or "Anerythristic type B". Black markings on a silvery background. These are totally lacking in red and yellow pigments, although older adults (especially males) may develop traces of yellow along the sides of the neck due to carotenoid retention.

Classic Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

These are typical corns, with lots of orange and red. The bellies are heavily marked with black and white checkering. Many will be heterozygous for other traits. Such specimens may be priced higher. In our opinion, there is no better pet snake than a Cornsnake. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Coral Snow Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Amelanism, Anerythrism, and either Hypo-Strawberry or Strawberry, three recessive mutations. aka Strawberry Snow. Essentially a Snow corn, but with incredible pink coloration. Tend to develop much more reddish and orangish pigmentation than typical Snow corns, although this varies. This has led to the trade name 'Coral Corn' being used for lines of them with really intense pinks, and it fits! Males are usually somewhat brighter than females. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Coral Snow Bloodred Project Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

We crossed a spectacular male Coral Snow to a very high quality Granite and produced numbers of corns destined to produce Coral Bloodreds and Strawberry Anery Bloodreds for us. We'll offer the surplus here as we know many customers will want to pursue this exciting project themselves.

Dilute Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Dilute, a recessive mutation. A very new mutation, the dilute allele is responsible for a unique appearance. Extreme fading of colors, almost as if the snake is in shed all the time. Others have described it as the colors are 'buried' under some layer. This trait will certainly be used to produce some exciting new morphs! Of course, we are already hard at work on it! Click here to learn more/see adults.

Dilute Anery Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Dilute and Anerythrism, two recessive mutations. A very new morph, the dilute allele is responsible for a unique appearance. Extreme fading of colors, almost as if the snake is in shed all the time, earning it the trade name of Blue Corn. Others have described it as the colors are buried under some layer. But along with this, lighter pigments such as pinks and yellows are enhanced. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Note: We'll also produce a few Dilute Snows and will list them here.

Dilute Caramel Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Dilute and Caramel, two recessive mutations. A very rare morph, the dilute allele is responsible for a unique appearance. Extreme fading of colors, almost as if the snake is in shed all the time. Others have described it as the colors are 'buried' under some layer. When combined with Caramel, it creates a unique new morph. Currently, just a handful of these exist and this is one of the first we've offered for sale.

Lavender Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Lavender, a recessive mutation. One of the newest and hottest color variants. Juveniles are dull grayish snakes, but adults are a gorgeous pale lavender color with silver to grayish blotches. Most exhibit an odd ladder-like pattern and ruby eyes. Many of ours will heterozygous for Opal or other traits and may be priced higher. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Opal Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Amelanism and Lavender, two recessive mutations. Starting out as washed out looking red albinos, these quickly fade into what appears to be a purplish snow corn. As they mature, varying amounts of pale orange fills in the areas between the blotches. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Phantom Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Hypomelanism and Charcoal, two recessive mutations. New and cool, a logical extension of the Charcoal lines that seemed to take a while for everyone to come up with, including us. Sometimes the simplest ideas pass us by... Attractively clad in pale grays with a purplish undertone and having that traditional pale blue 'Charcoal' head as babies.

Rootbeer Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata x meahllmorum)

The Normal Cornsnake, but influenced by intergrade effects. Crossing the Mexican Cornsnake (E. g. meahllmorum) with amelanistic Cornsnakes (E. g. guttata) produces offspring which will then produce ‘Tangerine Creamsicle’ Cornsnakes. These are from those crosses and are a bit different than the more common strains of Rootbeer Corns based on crosses to E. emoryi. Quantities are limited. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Strawberry Anery or Coral Ghost Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Anerythrism, and either Hypo-Strawberry or Strawberry, two recessive mutations. Essentially a Ghost corn, but with incredible pink coloration caused by using Strawberry instead of the usual Hypo. Tend to develop much more pink, red and orange pigmentation than typical Anery or Ghost corns, although this varies. Males are usually somewhat brighter than females. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Tangerine Creamsicle Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata x meahllmorum)

Homozygous for Amelanism, a recessive trait, and influenced by intergrade effects. Crossing the Mexican Cornsnake (E. g. meahllmorum) with amelanistic Cornsnakes (E. g. guttata) produces offspring which will then produce ‘Tangerine Creamsicle’ Cornsnakes. Pale orange blotches on a pinkish-yellowish background. Really nice. These are larger babies than other forms of Cornsnake. Somewhat different than the more common Creamsicles produced from crosses to the Emory's Ratsnake (E. g. guttata x emoryi crosses). Click here to learn more/see adults.

Tequila Sunrise Project Cornsnakes (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Many many years ago, we acquired a very unusual looking corn from a Denver area pet shop. This animal was nick-named the Tequila Sunrise corn, as sort of an inside joke following my inability to push the margarita pitcher to the far side of the table the night before. But that's another story.

We immediately set about trying to produce more corns with the unique look, as well as determine what was causing it. But this proved more difficult than one would think. Obviously, part of the look was being caused by a hypo-like mutation, but at the time the only known mutation of that sort was regular old Hypomelanism. Since that time, other mutations have been identified that can cause a hypoish appearance, including Lava, Sunkissed, and Ultra, plus different alleles at the original hypo locus have appeared, such as Strawberry and Christmas.

Over the years and generations, we've determined the original snake to have been an Ultramel Anery, heterozygous for Hypo, Motley, and Bloodred. But all of these failed to account for the entire look, especially the yellowing of the head and overall speckled look, so some as yet unidentified mutation or mutations is still at work here. To further muddy the waters, the original crossing to a Pink Pastel Ghost evidently added Strawberry, as bright pink snakes now frequently appear in the mix of F2 generations and beyond. All of this at a time before many of these mutations had even been identified. Thus sorting it out back in the days proved to be the devil's own as they say.

So after so many years of trying, and a thousand or more offspring produced, we still really don't know what these are genetically speaking. And I've grown weary of the entire project. So, as Clark Gable so eloquently put it "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn", they're just really cool looking snakes.

Ultra/Ultramel Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Ultra is one of the newest mutations on the market. Its' allele shares the same locus as amelanism, and when one Ultra allele is present with one Amel allele, the snake takes on the appearance of the Ultra! These are called Ultramels. With two Ultra alleles present, breeding to an Amel will create all Ultramels! Such homozygous specimens are called Ultras. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Ultra/Ultramel Lavender Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Ultra or Ultramel and Lavender. Similar in appearance to Hypo Lavenders, but created using the newer Ultra/Ultramel. Pretty neat snakes! Ultramel Lavenders often appear as very light colored Lavenders with red albino type eyes! Click here to learn more/see adults.

Bloodred Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

A color morph of cornsnake as much derived by the process of careful selection as by an all-or-nothing genetic trait (Diffusion). While hatchlings are rather strange in appearance, adults fade to a completely uniform red color. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Avalanche (Snow Bloodred) Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Amelanism, Anerythrism and Diffusion/Bloodred. aka Snow Bloodred. This triple recessive animal is a typical Snow Cornsnake in color, but with only traces of patterning in yellow present. Due to the Bloodred genetics, there is no ventral pattern (Plain-Belly). Click here to learn more/see adults.

Caramel Bloodred Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Caramel and Bloodred, two recessive mutations. Caramel Bloodreds are very new in the marketplace, and unfortunately the first efforts produced by other breeders were not very impressive specimens. We'll be using our very clean Bloodred lines maintained here for over twenty years to improve upon them. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Ghost Bloodred Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Anerythrism, Hypomelanism and Diffusion/Bloodred. Hatchlings are about what you'd expect from this morph, a clean creamy ghost color with no traces of side or belly patterning. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Hypo Bloodred Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Hypomelanism and Diffusion/Bloodred. This double recessive animal takes the typical bloodred corn and turns up the volume a notch. They are a bit lighter, a bit brighter, and immensely popular. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Pewter Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Charcoal and Diffusion/Bloodred. This double recessive animal is an almost solid gray in color, with only traces of pattern present. Due to the Bloodred genetics, there is no ventral pattern (Plain-Belly). Some specimens may also be heavily speckled with black, earning the name Pepper. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Plasma or Lavender Bloodred Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Lavender and Diffusion/Bloodred. aka Lavender Bloodred. Not sure who came up with this goofy name for these, but it seems to have stuck already. Personally, I prefer to just call these Lavender Bloodreds, to help eliminate confusion among newer breeders unfamiliar with all this gobble-de-gook. Whatever they are called, they are hot! Click here to learn more/see adults.

Sulphur or Butter Bloodred Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

aka Butter Bloodred. Homozygous for Amelanism, Caramel and Bloodred, three recessive mutations. Sulphurs are very new in the marketplace, and unfortunately the first efforts produced by other breeders were not very impressive specimens. We'll be using our very clean Bloodred lines maintained here for over twenty years to improve upon them. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Whiteout or Blizzard Bloodred Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Amelanism, Charcoal and Diffusion/Bloodred. aka Blizzard Bloodred. This triple recessive animal is a typical Blizzard Cornsnake in color, but with even less traces of pattern present. Due to the Bloodred genetics, there is no ventral pattern (Plain-Belly). Quantities are extremely limited. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Pied-Sided Bloodred Project Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

We bred our male Pied-Sided Fire to a pair of female Ultramels, het Bloodred and will be listing the offspring here. Those interested in producing both Pied-Sided Fires and Pied-Sided Ultramel Bloodreds will want to grab these up. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Butter Motley Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Amelanism, Caramel and Motley, three recessive mutations. Butters are really neat snakes, and when combined with the Motley pattern trait they are actually even more impressive. The motley pattern serves to lighten and brighten the colors, with most adults turning out a very bright yellow. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Caramel Motley Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Caramel and Motley, two recessive mutations. The Motley pattern trait serves to lighten up the attractive colors of the Caramel cornsnake. Quantities will be limited this year, as we're are still mostly working with various specimens heterozygous for one trait or another on these. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Dilute Motley Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Dilute and Motley, two recessive mutations. A very new morph, the dilute allele is responsible for a unique appearance. Extreme fading of colors, almost as if the snake is in shed all the time. Dilute was first discovered in the form of Dilute Anery Motleys, which are easiest to spot, and specimens not homozygous for Anery are still rather hard to come by as a result. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Dilute Anery Motley Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Dilute, Anerythrism and Motley, three recessive mutations. aka 'Blue Motley' corns. A very new morph, the dilute allele is responsible for a unique appearance. Extreme fading of colors, almost appearing as if these were Ghost Motleys in shed all the time. But along with this, lighter pigments such as pinks and yellows are enhanced.

Note: We'll also have a few Dilute Snow Motleys and will list them here as well.

Hypo Lavender Motley Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Hypomelanism, Lavender and Motley, three recessive mutations. Hypo Lavenders are lovely snakes and the motley pattern further lightens and adds a unique look to them. We used some extremely light hypo corns to create these, and when both lavender and motley are added, the result is stunning. Many appear at first glance to be Opal Motleys, but those dark ruby colored eyes give them away! Click here to learn more/see adults.

Opal Motley Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Amelanism, Lavender and Motley, three recessive mutations. Opal Motleys are really neat snakes, still a bit rare and much needed genetically for future combinations. Quantities can be extremely limited, as we're still working with various specimens heterozygous for one trait or another on these. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Sunrise Amel Motley Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Amel, Motley and Sunrise, three recessive mutations. A very new morph, the Sunrise allele is truly unique. Hatchlings look similar to Snow Motleys, but with a suffusion of orange throughout. After a few sheds, they darken to a typical Amel Motley appearance. At 2-3 years of age, they undergo another transformation, and speckles of white develop! The amount of expression varies from almost none to a heavily patterned 'calico' look. Since juveniles appear identical to regular Amel Motleys, we recommend they be acquired from very reputable breeders only as the potential for cheating is huge. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Ultra/Ultramel Motley Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Ultra or Ultramel with the addition of the Motley Pattern. Ultra is one of the newest mutations on the market. Its' allele shares the same locus as amelanism, and when one Ultra allele is present with one Amel allele, the snake takes on the appearance of the Ultra! With two Ultra alleles present, breeding to an Amel will create all Ultramels! Click here to learn more/see adults.

Striped Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Stripe, a recessive mutation. The normal Cornsnake but with reddish striping running nearly the full length of the snake. As with all striped corns, there is a tendency for the pattern to break up near the tail. Most of ours will be heterozygous for other traits and may be priced higher as a result. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Amber Striped Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Hypomelanism, Caramel and Stripe, three recessive mutations. Full-length stripes of amber on creamy yellow-olive with the typical unmarked bellies possessed by striped corns. Some adults can pale out to an almost unmarked soft golden olive coloration, especially males. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Hypo Striped Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Hypomelanism and Stripe, two recessive mutations. The normal Cornsnake with reddish striping running nearly the full length of the snake, but considerably lightened due to hypomelanism. As with all striped corns, there is a tendency for the pattern to break up near the tail. Most of ours will be heterozygous for other traits and may be priced higher as a result.

Granite Cornsnake (Pantherophis [Elaphe] g. guttata)

Homozygous for Anerythrism and Diffusion/Bloodred. aka Anery Bloodred. Not surprisingly, these are similar to Pewters, but the more brownish overtones and greater contrast in the pattern (especially on the dorsum) makes hatchlings immediately identifiable. Adults can be an almost solid gray color, with only traces of pattern present. Males may acquire increasing amounts of pinkish wash along the sides, and many breeders believe these can actually be sexed based on hatchling appearance. We'll still sex ours in the conventional manner... Click here to learn more/see adults.

The description of each specimen is followed by the sex of the specimen, it's date of birth, a stock number identifying the specimen, and the selling price. Photos are of the exact specimen listed, most are taken inside a standard 8oz deli cup for size comparison, and are updated as time permits.

Understanding our stock numbers may prove helpful in identifying unrelated specimens:

• F021-01M indicates a 2006 hatching (we started this code in 2001 with 'A', 2002 is 'B' and so on).
• F021-01M indicates the clutch number for that year, and thus all specimens listed as F021- are from the same clutch.
• F021-01M indicates this is the first male from that clutch. F021-03F would the third female from that clutch.

CB - Captive Bred, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from parents kept in captivity.

CH - Captive Hatched, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from a gravid wild-caught female.

WC - Wild-Caught. While all of our stock is produced here, some of it is produced from wild-caught adults that we maintain. We will occasionally sell some of the breeder animals as surplus.

LTC - Long Term Captive, usually followed by year of capture. Applies only to WC animals, indicates they have been maintained for a long period in captivity and are very well established.

50%, 66%, 100% - Percentage of likelihood the specimen is heterozygous for the listed trait.
