2008 female Bloodred Corn Snake.  She is 46″ long, eating frozen/thawed adult mice.  She fits the loose description of an OLD-SCHOOL Bloodred via her relatively dull red coloration and her semi-obvious dorso-lateral striping.  Her price of $225.00 USD includes FREE SHIPPING   

 

 

Note that the tail is unusually shaped.  It is shorter partially due to what some call spinal train wreck where some vertebrae and adjacent scales are smaller, rendering a shorter anatomical feature (in this case, a shorter tail).  It has not impacted her breeding at all.

Not unlike many of the SOTDs we publish, even if I create the feature article a week or more before scheduled publication, it instantly appears on the SURPLUS PAGE of our web site the DAY of creation (VS. only when that SOTD publishes).  That’s why some of these were sold before they even SOTD published.  Sorry to TEASE via allowing it to publish–even if sold–but I still thought it was pretty or unusual enough to show, AND the  proclamation reminds folks to check the SURPLUS PAGE now and then, to get a jump on shoppers who want to buy them later when they are published on SOTD. We create SOTDs from two to 14 DAYs prior to their respective scheduled publication dates so some of them are advertised many DAYs before most of the world sees them on our web site or South Mountain Reptiles Face Book Page.  This male Lava Tessera is going to his new owner at the next Terraristika Reptile Expo in Hamm, Germany in December.

From the SCRATCH & DENT Department, this 2013 Amel corn snake Het Palmatto  has a sizable spinal kink about 1/2 way down her body (pink arrow).  She is 28″ long, eating frozen/thawed unaltered hopper mice.  The growth rate of the kink has always been proportionately the same as the rest of her body (ergo, not out-pacing the normal growth rate of the snake).  If I had the slightest suspicion that the kink would have a negative impact on (or preclude) normal reproduction, she would not be for sale.  Therefore, her $2,000.00 USD price with FREE SHIPPING reflects a 40% discount I’m willing to offer because of her kink.

2013 Male Tessera Het Scaleless Anery.   He is 31″ long, eating one frozen/thawed large pinky or small fuzzy mouse every four to five DAYs.  He should reach breeding maturity before 2015, but, if not, surely shortly thereafter.  His $1,100.00 usd  price includes free shipping to lower-

The target value of using this snake for a breeder is to be the first Scaleless Anery Tessera ever produced.  While a Scale-less Anery Tessera may seem genetically unlikely in one brood of babies from two triple-hets, it’s not.  Approximately half of the progeny from this couple will be Tesseras of some kind (Tessera, Anery Tessera, Scaleless Tessera, and Scaleless Anery Tessera).  There aren’t so many mutations in this marriage that hitting the target will be rare. It’s likely that one or two of the babies from the first pairing could be the trifecta; Scaleless Anery Tessera?

2013 female Motley corn snake from a Tessera parent (hence, surely why she shows so much black in her markings for a Motley).   25″ long, eating frozen/thawed large fuzzy mice.  Her $89.00 USD price includes FREE SHIPPING    

I’m selling her so inexpensively because two weeks ago I moved her up to a bigger cage and she HATES it.  She hasn’t rubbed her nose, but she pushed her face into the corners of the cage to get out, so much that her nose has a funny shape now.  I’d say about half of the snakes that do this mature to have normal corn snake faces, but in case this girl won’t, I’m making her affordable to a good home.
