The Snake-of-the-Day headliner of this web site features photographs that we believe will interest our web site visitors. Each daily photograph will be posted at 11:00 am. central (GMT – 5) and replaced in 24 hours. Feel free to make suggestions regarding what snake photographs you would like to see in this daily feature. The animals pictured here are not for sale, unless otherwise noted, but you can find available surplus snakes for sale on the Surplus Page of this web site. We appreciate your patronage and welcome any suggestions you may have.
Special thanks to Terri Bieknowski for producing these stunning Lavender Tesseras. The pale one is almost certainly a Hypomelanistic (aka: Hypo) Lavender Tessera, but I won’t know for sure until breeding trials are performed. It’s difficult to see trace outlines of pattern in the sloughed epidermal skins of some Lavender mutants (evidence of melanin in the outermost dermal layers) so with some Lavender types, we never really know if they are also Hypo mutants or polygenetically pale variants. Most of us will agree that it does not matter. Hopefully, we will have enough of these beauties this summer to list them on our web site.
