South Mountain Reptiles Corn Snake Advocate We started South Mountain Reptiles 24 years ago (1999), after selling our pet store in Wichita and moving to Texas.

We are credited with several colubrid corn snake morphs in the hobby today, including the Palmetto, Tessera and Pied-Sided mutations. You can see our online snake store at www.cornsnake.net

P.S. No, we don't live on a mountain. In Sweden, Soderberg translates to Southern Mountain or South Mountain.

Confusingly often called wide-striped corns, this mostly contiguous wide black dorsal zone is not the result of a gene mutation. Stripe is a gene mutation, so the confusion results when someone buys a snake called Striped, they expect to get babies like this, when pairing two with this look--they will not get babies like this one. The only mutation in this snake is ANERYthristic (no red).

Two SMR hatchling cornsnakes, Snow Motley and Salmon Snow. The largely white Motley barely demonstrates polygenic Hurricane pattern--and only one of the paired Red Factor gene copies--while the Salmon--that is NOT Motley pattern--exhibits the visual expression of possessing both of the paired Red Factor gene copies.

Two SMR small adult Bloodreds (Masque + Diffused mutations) plus polygenic overall red coloration. Subjective perception also identifies these as Old-school hobby Bloodreds, since their expression of red is subdued, relative to most of the highly red hobby counterparts.

Two small adult SMR BOOT Key Cornsnakes. Thanks John Finsterwald for producing these gems. Also, Dr. Orlando Diaz sold me some amazing Boot Key stock. Not unlike so many Key locality cornsnakes, these possess so many shocking visual parallels to modern Bloodred Cornsnake mutants (Diffused + Masque mutations); high ontogenetic diffusion, pale adult coloration, largely checker-less bellies, and faded Masque-like head stamp. The main obvious exclusion is that most Bloodred owe their deeply red overall coloration to polygenetic impacts.

Our Story

I thought I’d give you a little history about me, Don Soderberg, and South Mountain Reptiles. After high school in Wichita, Kansas. I attended Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, where I majored in biology - with emphasis in herpetology. I kept and bred reptiles as a hobby throughout the following years while working at different jobs to support my family. I was particularly honored to have worked under the late Ron Blakely in the herpetarium at the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas, in the late 1970s. Like many in our profession/hobby, I was hooked on reptiles and amphibians since I was old enough to walk. My mother never discouraged my brother and I from catching and keeping our “pets” since there were no indigenous venomous reptiles in Wichita. After keeping snakes since childhood, I successfully hatched my first eggs in 1973, but I never dreamed I’d be able to work/play with snakes as a career. In 1999, after the last of our three children finished high school, Tammie (my wife) and I sold our reptile pet shop EXOTIC PETS in Wichita and moved to Texas. Living here in the Hill Country outside San Antonio, we created our exclusively Internet and mail order corn snake shop South Mountain Reptiles (SMR for short). We regret that we cannot have visitors at SMR, but for insurance and security reasons, we stopped allowing visits in 2005. Feel free to check out our website at www.cornsnake.net or contact us at https://www.cornsnake.net/contact-us Thank you for your time. Don Soderberg - South Mountain Reptiles P.S. No, we don't live on a mountain. In Sweden, Soderberg translates to Southern Mountain or South Mountain.
