Snake of the Day 05-11-15

Show & Tell

Eggs from a pair of Scaleless Corn Snakes het for Striped Butter. All Scaleless corn snakes in the hobby toDAY are hybrids between the original pairing of a Corn Snake to an Emory’s Ratsnake.  I know, I know, where’s the damp moss?  I actually removed the Sphagnum Moss nest box from her cage when I saw that she was about to lay eggs.  I do not recommend doing this, but as long as gravid females are checked two or three times daily AND do not have a water bowl in their cage in which to drown eggs (rare, but happens), little risk is taken.  What is the saying, “don’t try this at home.  I’m a professional“?
