Pink Snow Corns....

Taking pictures of pink in snow corns is SO tough. Normally the shots I get of them shows a white snake, with pink no where to be found for miles and miles...argh!

First up, with one picture, is my male Neon from Stephen. I keep hoping he'll turn out like some have posted of this line, but I don't know, time will tell! He's got some pink showing now and the camera really caught it this time.

Second up is my snow that is out of my Snow female who is known het hypo that was bred to a friend's Pastel Anery. At hatching time and even the first month or so, I saw he had some pinkish colored saddles, but many snows have that at hatching time. Didn't think much of it. Well as time went by he and his siblings got nicer and nicer. But I had sold off most of the clutch and had this male and a ghost sister. She's got this pink wash coming in now. This guy is just turning very pretty pink. I'm hoping it continues as he grows up. Him and the Neon you could say are vying for the most pink title!

Ha, ha..........I soooo agree. I have taken 'shots' outdoors of my, peachy pink, Opal male & he looks a brilliant White. The flash on the camera seems to 'bleach out' the true colouration.

And to your Pink guys.

The 1st animal is, certainly, showing some interesting green borders which surround the pink saturation......whilst, number 2, in the competition, has rather a pink head (more so than the 1st animal).

It's difficult with Snows as they do, often, appear with less than obvious pink tones at a young age. What are their respective ages?

And a full body shot of Number 2 would be good.

Neon is definetly more pink. I took a full body shot of my other guy, but as usual, I miss out a bunch of pink. Oh well, I tried...

Yes, I do see what you mean.

The first photograph of the Neon Pink guy shows that his saddles - particularly, the area near to the neck - are almost red whilst his overall background colouration is a deep pink.

Whilst contestant No.2..........well, he is a beauty. A deep pink emerging in the background complimented with a 'frosted' effect on the dorsal saddle.

Yup, both have valuable features to add to any breeding programme. It all depends on what you are aiming to produce.

Forgive this misinterpretation, I responded 'blind'. What I now notice is that the Saddle area IS the pink colouration, suffused with some 'frosting'.

Ahhh, for the edit button
