Amazing to me how these guys change over just a few months - had time on my hands yesterday to take a few shots of some of our normal corns and am amazed how much they have changed. These are from a rather bland looking striped normal female that laid a suprise clutch shortly after we purchased her - so just normal corn babies. They have almost no black around the saddles but are developing the dark lines along their backs typically of sooty color in wild corns so I expect they will be rather unremarkable in color as adults - but it is interesting to follow their development.
