Corn Snakes
This Silver & Black Granite Ghost Corn Snake is a breathtaking example of what expert selective breeding can achieve. Combining three genetic traits — granite for dramatic pattern reduction, plus the ghost combination (hypo + anerythristic) — this male displays a striking palette of silver, lavender, and muted charcoal tones.
As a proven breeder, this isn’t just a display animal — his genetics are verified. Whether you’re building a serious corn snake breeding project or adding a centerpiece animal, a proven multi-gene male of this caliber is invaluable. At $300, this won’t last long.
🧠 DID YOU KNOW?
- The “ghost” morph is actually a combination of two separate recessive genes — hypomelanism and anerythrism — working together to create that ethereal silver-lavender appearance.
- Corn snakes have been selectively bred into over 800 recognized morph combinations, making them one of the most genetically diverse reptile species in captivity.
- A “proven breeder” means this male has successfully sired offspring that visually confirm his genetic makeup — the gold standard for any serious breeding project.
