Snake of the Day 03-20-18

Show & Tell


2018 Scaleless corn snake.  This snake exhibits color, pattern, and contrast that are not uncommon in non-pattern and non-color Scaleless mutants, though some would be tempted to call this a Motley?  Not a Motley mutant, this one is from het parents that possessed one copy of Scaleless, Butter and Stripe.  The yellow ground color is potentially a demonstration that this snake is het for Caramel, but there is no way to make that determination just by looking.  All Scaleless corn snakes in our hobby have in common the ancestral captive pairing of a Corn Snake to a Emory’s Ratsnake, so all Scaleless corns–and their scaled siblings–are inter-species hybrids.
