Great video! I have two anery masques that may or may not be ghosts. I'm still a little confused but you've done a better job explaining it than anywhere else I've researched. I love corns and ball pythons but the genetics of both are crazy lol.
@@SarahsSnakeShop But is there a way to tell an anery masque from a hypo anery (ghost) masque? I understand that masque can have a hypo-like effect sometimes.
@@JamesM527 yes! as babies is the easiest way to tell (now that I think about it I should have included baby photos of both for comparison). A baby Anery masque like the one in this video will be very obviously darker than a ghost masque baby. As an adult we can still tell, but it is harder. The belly checkers - if there are any - will be the best way. Anerys will still have black checkers and ghosts will have grey checkers. If there are no checkers we then look to the saddle borders for the same thing. if there are no saddle borders a ghost will have more transparent skin than an anery, and usually still be overall lighter.
Hi! Just found this channel and subscribed. My daughter and I just got two F1 from wild Okeetees. They seem to fit this morph…especially the male. The breeder said the parents were collected from 15 miles away from each other and both had totally normal pattern, all saddles shaped normal. Our babies have very crazy shaped saddles. The male definitely has the masque head pattern, female almost. Their checkers are pretty much complete, but male’s a little bit separated. Is it possible for this morph to show up in wilds?
@@SarahsSnakeShop ok, thanks! They are pretty cool…they have almost motley, then a little Aztec, little zig zag…just all kinds of weird patterns happening. Only maybe 1/3 of their body is normal shaped saddles. The female has really nice black borders too. Can’t wait til I can breed them ☺️
You said masque wasn't a real genetic mutation, now your saying it is, lol. Now you're saying the selective breed pied is a gene to itself, it isn't. it's a polygenic polymophic selective mutation, and thats why people struggled. You'll get it right one day.
Both of them are still officially considered mutations to the general public, that can be calculated in a mendelian way. But from my personal experience, it's different. Don't mistake my suspicions and educated opinions for just "you'll get it right one day".

Baby photos will help ID the anerys from the ghosts :)

@@SarahsSnakeShop Thanks for the great info!
Lmao it feels like when I have something corn snake to look up you are the first result that pops up. You must have a huge number of videos
Well I'm glad I'm on the list 😅 but yes I've done a TON of morph videos
Hello!Im from other country,maybe,I can somehow buy you book in online format,like PDF?Really love all your videos!
Yes! I can send PDF. Email me at sarahssnakeshop@gmail.com and we will work it out :)

Hi! Thanks for following the channel! 😄
Morphs can show up in the wild, but it sounds like yours is just showing some natural variation.

Do striped masques exist????
Yes! The head pattern usually looks way more masque in that case
