Show & Tell
2017 Scaleless corns that we held back, to be future SMR breeders. The Tessera is possibly het for Caramel and Amel (therefore, BUTTER) and the parents of the other one were both het for Scaleless Sunglow Motley. Since we can see the extra color demonstrated in the non-Tessera above (presumably from the RF (aka: RedFactor) gene mutation), next project is to put that RF gene into Scaleless Tesseras and Amel Scaleless Tesseras? Well worth the wait, eh?
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.
