Snake of the Day 03-28-13

SORRY ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH SMR WEB SITE LATELY
I often take several pictures, create Snake of the Day features, and set the web site to publish them on their appropriate DAY at 11 am.  After three DAYs of the features not publishing on time, a friend of mine just pointed out to me that the LAST UPDATED date at the bottom of the page was one DAY later than the actual DAY.  Hence, the date and time on my web site is wrong and that caused the features not to publish at the appointed times.  I’m sorry I didn’t catch this sooner, but I appreciate the emails informing me of the problem.  My webmaster is working to fix the problem now.  Thank you for your patience and understanding. 
 
 
Each DAY at 11:00 am. ct (GMT – 5) we will post a different SMR snake being offered at a special price.
All snakes will be chosen for their rarity and/or unique beauty.
FREE U.S. SHIPPING  for each Snake-of-the-Day.

Comments: From the SCRATCH AND DENT DEPT. this 2011 female Hurricane Anery Motley is priced low due to her underbite and “cleft-like” upper labial scale zone (see image inset).  She eats fine and handles well.  I don’t anticipate that her birth defect will have any negative impact on breeding, nor do I suspect it will be passed onto her progeny.  That would be extremelly rare in corn snakes, and even rarer in this morph.  
 
Hurricane pattern Motleys are selectively bred for the black ringed-series pattern down the back.  The name Hurricane was given for the rare pattern variation whose circles around ground pattern zones are exaggerated by thick concentric rings similar to the meteorilogical map symbol for Hurricane storms.  Some have called them donut motleys because instead of a borderless or only slightly bordered circles, the circle borders on Hurricane Motleys look like donuts, relative to typical Motley mutants’ barely bordered circles.
