Show & Tell
The only MicroScale Butter corn snake we hatched this year isn’t changing colors too much yet. In another few months yellows will deepen and the faded orange markings will soften to yellow. As an adult, this one will be two shades of yellow, like virtually all Butter corn snake mutants. After closer examination of this one, I’m leaning now toward my original theory that the colors and contrast are more pronounced than those of typically scaled corns, perhaps because there are more scales. Not unlike the dot pitch of your computer or device monitor rendering crisper resolution with more pixels per inch, it seems that Micro Scale (formerly called Micro Pave) mutants owe their higher contrast to more scales per inch? I really need to actually count them, right? I’m looking forward to breeding this scale mutation into other colors and patterns of corn snakes.
