Show & Tell
2017 Scaleless corn from parents, HET SCALELESS SUNGLOW MOTLEY x HET SCALELESS SUNGLOW MOTLEY. The exaggerated sheen on the sides–which also smooths out the wrinkles Scaleless serpents always exhibit–is because of distension after resorbtion of its huge yolk before emerging from the egg. Why this one has such faded markings is a mystery to me, since it’s the first one from this line not to have bold markings?
reminder: 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) and are therefore technically inter-species hybrids.
