Show & Tell
Update pic of the Scaleless corn snake from Chip Bridges that we believe to be a Lavender mutant (no change in color since last update). It rocked the corn snake hobby a few years ago when breeders in France discovered that Scaleless Lavender corns were predominantly orange, with NO blue or purple, demonstrating that some of the chromatophores and refractive iridiophores that render the colors Lavender/Blue to our eyes largely–if not solely– reside in the outer epidermal generation of the Integumentary System. Therefore, rendering orange instead of the typical Blue colors seen in scaled Lavender mutants. Why this snake hatched blue but did not stay blue remains a mystery. Thanks, Chip. I love this guy. 2014 PIC . . .
