Snake of the Day 07-31-16

Show & Tell

Another 2015 (now yearling) Scaleless corn snake.  This one demonstrates a perceived exaggeration of their eye size, due to the lack of facial scales that are built up around the eyes of scaled snakes.  If this snake were not a scale-less mutant, her eyes would be the same size proportion as any of her scaled counterparts. 

note:  ALL Scaleless corns in the hobby toDAY (including scaled corns that are carriers of the Scale-less mutation) are descendants of the original pairing of a Corn Snake to an Emory’s Ratsnake (aka: Great Plains Ratsnake) and are therefore technically inter-species hybrids.
