Show & Tell
Featured on SOTD, 06-06-18 this month, comparatives of the degree of scalation between the Scaleless Sunglow Motley and a wild-colored Scaleless corn. I doubt that any two Scaleless mutants could be more opposing with regard to scale volume than these two. The wild-colored one has a much higher scale count than most Scaleless mutants, and the Sun Motley has almost none. Most Scaleless mutants have many (or ALL) belly scales, as is the case with both of toDAY’s featured corn snakes. PIC 4 shows the only scales above the belly scale zones on the Sun Motley (of course, there are facial scales like the ones visible at this angle, on the opposite side of the snake’s face).
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). Therefore, all Scaleless corns (and their scaled siblings) are inter-species hybrids. BONUS PICs . . .
