Show & Tell

 

Adult Scaleless male produced by Chip Bridges.  Breeding trials next year will reveal if this is actually a Saleless Lavender mutant.  So far, all of the Scaleless Lavenders have not demonstrated the namesake Lavender coloration, presumably because the iridiphores that render the namesake color in scaled individuals are contained in the missing outer epidermal scale layers of the Scaleless individuals?  That said, since the few dark scales showing in the tail and head area on this snake are not lavender colored, this may be a Scaleless corn snake that is not a color mutant?

Cute lil Scaleless Corn not even 1-DAY-old.  The egg tooth–which is barely visible beneath the rostral scale of the snout will fall off in a few DAYs.  Notice the few small, roundish and random scales on the head.

One of my favorite venomous snake species, I collected these two Mottled Rock Rattlesnakes (Crotalus lepidus lepidus ) about 12 DAYs ago in Brewster County, Texas.

This 45″ adult male Creamsicle Okeetee is a great breeder.  Except for a recent blemish (small dark spot on head from trying to get out of his cage–attracted by the permeation of pheromones in the main snake building during the breeding season) he’s in perfect condition.  The blemish on the head should be all but invisible in a shed or two since it’s barely a rub.   His $175.00 USD price includes
