Default Avalanche ??

OK soo...

i bought this weird looking corn snake the other day...

i havent got pics yet but basically it looks like a snow thats all aztec or zig-zag with white missing... sorry bad description..

its VERY diffused round the sides..

question is...

could the white stil be coming in.... its 6 months old... or could the white be fading away...


aslo what are the genetics behind avalanche and white outs ???

Avalanche is blood red, anery, and amel, so bloodred snow and as far as I'm aware.. some are being produced in this country but they are still pretty rare at the moment Not sure on white outs though. Should also add as a blood red carrier the belly would be patternless, not sure what sort of belly patterns yours has?

yeah, thats right, whiteouts are blizzard bloodreds, either would be a rarety and someone would know if they were selling them, as above, even with snows you can usually make out the belly checks and there wouldn't be any, but dont take that as proof as a snow stripe/motley would also have the smae belly and could explain the sides and pattern

My guess at that would be snow motley/stripe but picks would tell

Thanks Layla,

'tis correct, we produced our 1st Coral Avalanche in '06 & believe him to be the 1st produced in the U.K.

The genetics behind this young male is Hypo + Amel + Anery + Bloodred.

Our 1st 'WhiteOut' is also an Avalanche, therefore, she has been given the cultivar name of Quartz.

Quartz is an Amelanistic + Charcoal + Anerythristic + Bloodred homozygous animal.

1st in the U.K. & (to the best of my knowledge) also the U.S.A.

Sparkle, post some photo's of your unusual Snow that we may see the pattern & ventral of the animal.

Lex
