Snake of the Day 05-17-19

This 14″ female 2019 Scaleless Butter corn snake is currently eating frozen/thawed newborn pinky mice. 
Ps, the zones that look orange now will turn bright yellow when this snake is mature.  None of the orange seen today will be there later.

note:  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).  Therefore, all Scaleless corns (and their scaled siblings) are inter-species hybrids.

Snake of the Day 05-18-19

This 2019 female Scaleless Sunglow Motley corn snake is currently 14″ long, eating frozen/thawed DAY-old pinky mice.

note:  ALL Scaleless corns in the hobby toDAY (including SCALED corns that are carriers of the Scale-less mutation–aka Het Scaleless), AND even possible-hets are descendants of the original pairing of a Corn Snake to an Emory’s Ratsnake (aka: Great Plains Ratsnake).  Therefore, all Scaleless corns (and their scaled siblings) are inter-species hybrids.

Snake of the Day 05-07-19

This 22″ female 2018 Scaleless corn snake is currently eating frozen/thawed fuzzy mice.   She is het for Hypo and Sunkissed, since her parents were het for Scaleless Sunkisssed Hypo.

note:  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).  Therefore, all Scaleless corns (and their scaled siblings) are inter-species hybrids.

Snake of the Day 05-08-19

This 12″ male 2019 Charcoal Terrazzo corn snake is possibly a Pewter Terrazzo.  All of our Terrazzos are direct descendants of the unbroken original Boyd Line Terrazzos (originally called Granite Corns), so, they show very little–if any–striping as adults.  He has eaten six frozen/thawed small pinky mice since hatching in March.

Snake of the Day 05-10-19

We no longer breed these two colors of Hurricane Motleys (Amel and Common) but we are showing you this brood to demonstrate how persistent polygenetic (familial) traits can be.  Note the two general head patterns among these siblings.

 

 

Snake of the Day 05-11-19

ToDAY’s featured corn snake is NOT the snake that was published on May 2, 2019, but is related.  The parents of this Anery Tessera are a Specter X Striped Anery Tessera.  We’ll show this snake–and others–as they mature, so you can all see any ontogenetic potential color changes.

Snake of the Day 04-27-19

This 23″ male 2018 Amel corn snake is possibly het for Scaleless, since both parents were het for Scaleless.

note:  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).  Therefore, all Scaleless corns (and their scaled siblings) are inter-species hybrids.
