Some very interesting hatchlings there Chris.

Can you just refresh my memory. The Tequila Sunrise is a suspected ratsnake intergrade? To what morph of corn was the original bred?

Those hatchlings are very rich in colouration on such a light background. I do like the red tones without the yellow influence.

Thanks Ruth. The Original "TS" Is a suspected rat/corn intergrade. Per the ACR listing, she's an anerythristic A het hypo and amel, and the first F1's were produced using a ghost that apparently het for amelanism.

Congrads to you. These hatchlings are pretty, especially the one with the bit of zig zag.

Most of the black rat/corn crosses seem drab in comparison to a corn, and stay patterned. I've only ever seen a few in person. I kinda knew what to expect with these; I was more interested to see the results of the suspect mom crossed to a hypo corn.
