Snake of the Day 05-05-17

Show & Tell

Not for sale, this 2016 Scaleless Butter Corn Snake now demonstrates notably more yellow than she did when she hatched a year ago.  From seeing thousands of snakes through the lens of my camera, I often assign informal labels to their respective poses.  I call this one Pretzel Pose. A few of them, over the years, actually managed to form knots while positioning themselves for photographs.  

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) and are therefore technically inter-species hybrids.
