Snake of the Day 08-28-18

Show & Tell

Thank you again, BARBARA VELTHUYSEN for discovering the MicroScale mutated gene in corn snakes and to TARA SMALL for making it possible for us to hatch this rare corn snake triple-mutant (MicroScale, Amel, and Caramel).  This SMR MicroScale Butter hatched earlier this month.  Like the relatively lackluster neonatal colors of all Butter mutants, this snake will get more and more yellow with maturity.  He/She was only a week old when this picture was taken, so it has filled out since eating twice for me so far (have not yet determined gender, since I don’t care which it is).  I’ll keep you pictorially updated on its color transformation through maturity.   BONUS  PICs . . .
