Show & _Tell

These two Scaleless corns have no familial relationship beyond being distantly related to the same FIRST Scaleless corn that hatched over a decade ago in France. The small one is a Scaleless Tessera and the larger of the two is the one we think is a Scaleless Lavender (produced by Chip Bridges in NC).

Show & Tell

This 2016 hatchling Striped Pied-sided Bloodred corn is a sibling of the Striped p/s Granite featured on this web site and the SMR FaceBook page on September 7th.  At maturity, this one will be very red, and most of the dorsal markings will be difficult to visually discern.

Some of you are thinking, “why does he keep showing this snake?”. It’s mostly because even I am continually impressed at how much more red it is each time it sheds. This 2014 Cherry Corn shows promise to be every bit as red as his father. Dollar bill is in the picture for a color reference, since the red in these corns is often deemed impossibly red. .

Surely, the color of these hatchlings is what Rich Zuchowski saw when he named the Sunkissed mutants?  Rich said that when he set a bright orange can of SUNKIST soda next to a container of newly hatched corns, the color similarity caused him to use the namesake.  I bred a Scaleless Sunkissed corn to a Scaled Sunkissed Anery corn to render these beauties.  Once they’re feeding, they will be for sale, but their price will be lofty because of their potential to reproduce Scaleless corns in these colors (AND also Sunkissed Aneries).  s

Some of the same snakes as shown in the first picture of toDAY’s feature.  They were two DAYs old when this picture was made, so it will be interesting to see what colors they boast after shedding.  Ps, I realize that half of these don’t have classic Sunkissed head pattern, but am helpless to explain why, given that both parents were sold to me as Sunkissed mutants (one of them Sunkissed Anery)?  I know what you’re thinking?  Why do some have the bright orange color but not the classic Sunkissed mutant head pattern?  Here are the parents of toDAY’s featured hatchlings.

Comparative of a Scaleless Tessera and a Fire (not Cayenne Fire). No relative relationship between the two other than using the Fire and the Dollar Bill as color references for the Scaleless Tessera.

 

 

Show & _Tell

There’s nothing visually unusual about this brood of Amel corns AND nothing really that genetically rare about them either, but they are progeny of an Amel Tessera bred to a Striped Fire (Striped Amel Bloodred).  The next generation for these future breeders will render some Striped Fire Tesseras. These will be much more colorful after they slough their first skins in a few DAYs.

This 2016 female Scaleless Caramel is currently eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.   Her $950.00 usd price includes   

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) and are therefore technically inter-species hybrids.

Show & _Tell

This pattern variation (partially exhibiting disorderly dorsal Tessera pattern) is becoming more common in Tesseras these past few years.  This 2016 Extreme Okeetee Tessera will be largely black and gray as an adult, but some red will be visible in parts of its pattern zones.  Note the barely visible brown on the lower jaw line and also on the ventro-lateral markings just above the ventral heel (aka: ventral keel–where belly meets sides).  The lack of pattern color (red) to this degree in Tesseras is still rare in the hobby, so we actually hope to one DAY produce non-Anerythristic Tesseras with NO red.  Will they be more beautiful than classic Tesseras will be judged in the eye of the beholder, but in the breeding of most hobby serpents the goal has always been to take certain pattern and/or color aspects to absolute extremes.  Call it–if you will–a challenge?
