We’ve hatched several snakes from our Scaleless line (from Stephane Rosselle in France) that look like this one.
The parents of this corn exhibited typical corn snake colors, but this one demonstrates how few generations have passed between now and the original pairing of an Emory’s Ratsnake to a Corn that yielded the first Scaleless hybrid mutant.
It’s close enough to that original pairing at this time for an Emory’s Ratsnake lover to work on demonstrating a Scaleless Emory’s Ratsnake.
When Colubia (in France) hatched the first of this line I asked if someone had bred novel wild-type Emory’s to the Emory’s Ratsnake patriarch, but never got a response. This snake is not for sale, but this generation cannot be past third captive hybrid generation so it’s not too late to breed one like this back to an Emory’s to produce some beautiful Green-on-Silver Scaleless snakes.
Since Colubia’s web site stated that he used an Emory’s and Corn to produce the first one, I don’t see how the babies from breeding one like this to an Emory’s would be any ethically different than all of the descendants we call Scaleless Corns?
