![]() Because it is not!īut if you like soft pinks, lots of yellows, greens, frosted saddles or busy patterns, this might be the thing that you like to have in your collection. ![]() So if you want to get into this project because you like how they look, just get one animal, but if you are planning to breed them, I would suggest to get at least a (unrelated) pair.Īlthough I am convinced Mimosa is a real thing, this does not mean I will be charging crazy prices like it is the hottest new morph out there. I can tell for sure it is not simple recessive, because I reproduced this ‘morph’ by outcrossing it to unrelated morphs. There does not seem to be a “super form” (like Super Hypo in Boa constrictors or Blue Eyed Lucy/Super Butter in Ballpythons). ![]() The facts are that I did a lot of breedings with this line, both outcrossing and linebreeding (see below for all combos I made) and as far as I can tell, it is dominant OR incomplete dominant. It could very well be selective breeding, but I think there is something genetic going on. Let me start by saying that I am not claiming this is a “Morph”. It took some time, but I could find out every lineage of each snake and I could make good breeding plans.Īlthough the breeding season is far from over, I hatched some clutches already so I can say for sure this look is ‘reproducible’, so it deserves a name, and in 2021, the Mimosa corn was born! So, before the breeding season, I dove into all my breeding data and I figured out which snakes came from + lines, which came from Red Factor lines, and which were a mix. Althought it is not a bad name, it was confusing for people, so in 2021 I decided I needed to focus more on breeding “+ line” to “+ line” animals. In 20 I kept breeding the same look, and I started calling these “+ line”, because I was convinced there was something extra in them. So, I sold the babies as “cool snakes, might have Buf and/or Red Factor in them, but I am also not sure” But for people who know me, I am not a person to start screaming immediately that I have something new and exciting. Both in 20 I got some babies that looked Frosted. This was also the year I was really convinced something was going on. In 2017 I proved her out to be Ultramel Tessera het. I did get some pretty babies and I kept some from each clutch, because there was something going on, but because of the ‘unknown’ genetics of mom, I was not sure what was causing this. The female grew pretty quick (and is still a big girl) so I could already breed her successfully in 2015 and also in 2016, but the babies were not like expected. That year I also bought a male Ghost Motley Striped “Strawberry” from a German breeder, which I can’t remember the name of. Back then there were not a lot of these out there anyway, but this female instantly got my attention because of the busy pattern and nice color. In 2013 I bought a baby “Hypo Tessera” bred by SnakeAround. This is a fitting name, because most snakes from this line have distinct yellow in the head and neck (like orange juice) and some “frosting” in the saddles (like champagne bubbles). Tequila Sunrise is named after the cocktail: a mix of Tequila, Orange Juice and Grenadine, so I wanted to give my line a name of a yellow cocktail too, so I came up with “Mimosa”Ī Mimosa is “a cocktail of orange juice and champagne, usually in equal parts”, according to the dictionary. Just like the Tequila Sunrise corns, I am still not 100% sure how this works genetically, but in this article I will explain everything I know about it.Īs far as I can tell at this moment (July 2021), my Mimosa corns are very similar in looks to Tequila Sunrise corns. The origin story of the Mimosa Corn Snakeīy Josua Hannink, Future-Morphs (the Netherlands), July 2021 (Updates: September 2022, February 2023)įor years I have been working on a colorful line of corn snakes, which resemble the “Tequila Sunrise” found in the USA in the early 2000s.
