Although I love the patterning, I don't really like the cali king colouration that's still inthere. Stunning snake though! |

It made me wonder about the snakes that are found in the wild?
Does anyone remember the Polar/Grizzly Bear hybrid that was shot a few years ago?
Maybe the same is happening with corns-as there is more pressure on them and they are coming into contact with other snakes as the range overlap?
Thinks its most likely if a King Met a corn in the wild then its first instinct would be to eat it not mate with it lol |

You are right about a cross between a Cali king and a corn being a jungle corn.....but other than that I know nothing   !
Whatever it is, it is stunning ! I wouldn't mind adding that to my collection and its very rare I say that.
A word of warning....not sure what the rules on here are but if they're like the Facebook group ones then you shouldn't post pics that aren't your own, unless you have permission. I may be totally wrong but thought it worth mentioning.

Pretty sure it's called a Jungle Corn an is a hybrid between a Cali King and a Corn snake. Markings vary a lot though. I did a video on some snake hybrids on Youtube and they are mentioned in that
I do believe, however, that the genes of each snake count towards what the hatchling will look like. For example, if the mother was a Tessera Corn and the father was a Normal Corn x Cali King it would end up like this. Something else to confuse you though, a snake that is 25% cali king and 75% corn is classed as a Super Corn. However I have a feeling this may be a mashed up Jungle Super Corn of some form looking at the patterning. AKA, a mash up of different hybrids to make a pretty snake. |

Found this pic.this snake is only 25% cali king.That is to say one parent was half cali king/corn the other was a corn.
There were 3 in the clutch like this and the rest were normal,with nothing inbetween.
Sooo,how much does the cali.king range overlap with corns?
are they genetic distinct?
Will Tessera's end up (10yrs or so down the line)with Ultra's classified as hybrid ?
Does anyone care?
They are super looking snakes and lets face it who wouldn't find room for one?!! |
