Snake of the Day 02-03-18

This 2016 Scaleless Amel corn snake demonstrates a huge volume of scales, though they are random, small and irregularly shaped, compared to those of classically scaled corns.  Look at the zone of scales on the “jaws”.  

note:  ALL Scaleless corns in the hobby toDAY (including SCALED corns that are carriers of the Scale-less mutation–aka Het Scaleless) are descendants of the original pairing of a Corn Snake to an Emory’s Ratsnake (aka: Great Plains Ratsnake).  Therefore, all Scaleless corns (and their scaled siblings) are inter-species hybrids.
