Show & Tell
The parents of this snake were a Scaleless Extreme Okeetee and a Scaled Okeetee, neither of which had this pale ground color. I believe the pale and buckskin-like color is from the Emory’s Ratsnake (aka: Great Plains Ratsnake) heritage of all Scaleless and Het Scaleless “corns” in the hobby toDAY. Not that many Emory’s Ratsnakes are this color, but since this is overtly atypical for a pure corn snake, I suspect this color is owed to Emory’s ancestry altering typical corn snake coloration.
