                                                             Scaleless Anery Corn Snake laying eggs.  They should hatch in early-June and be ready for shipping by mid-June. Note her
                                                             few and random groupings of scales.   Seldom are any of the rare scales on a Scaleless Mutant recognizably normal in size
                                                             or shape. It is not uncommon for corn snake eggs not to be bright white, but these eggs are fertile and will hatch normally.

This Striped Tessera female is het for Ghost and her mate is a Tessera Het Striped Ghost.  We believe that among other 
corn snake behaviors, some females inherit the style in which they assemble their eggs when laying.   This one has the 
instinct to lay her eggs in an almost upright assemblage.  Regardless of whether corns lay their eggs singly or cluster them
in upright or horizontal orientations, they all secure the clutch with their tails, presumably for stability while laying, but also so
 they will know if any animal touches the eggs while in her care.  Corn Snakes are not a species that stays with their eggs for 
the entire incubation, but they will guard them – as this one demonstrates – for a few DAYs or even a couple of weeks if given
the chance.    It’s never wise to let the eggs stay with their mother, since without a moist substratum and damp moss cover,
they begin dehydrating within hours of being laid.  Note that the females brush away all debris  (in this case, moss)  prior to
laying the eggs on a relatively clean and even surface.

Naturally, the name of this morph (Pied-sided Bloodred) denotes its best photographic angle.  Therefore, it’s not
easy to show you how much white is on the sides of this female, but she is a strong HIGH-expression example
of her morph.  Her eggs will hatch mid-June and we’ll be shipping her 2013 progeny by early July.  The variable
nature of this mutation results in this many hatchlings having a considerable range of white expression from LOW
to HIGH, and every degree between.

The eggs of this Banded Fluorescent Corn Snake female were sired by a Banded Fluorescent male with the same
color scheme, but unlike her, his ground color more closely matches the red of his saddles.     Both have shocking
white blotch margins, so hatchlings should mature to be the same. Hatchlings will be available for shipping in June.

Motley Het for Striped Honey
Female
d.o.h. 2011

31″ long on April 7, 2013

$200.00 shipped

The parents of this snake are comprised of a Striped Tessera and a Honey.  Due to Tessera parentage, I expect F1s from this original pairing (including this female) to promote better striped pattern for Sunkissed and Honey mutants, a nearly impossible feat toDAY. She was not brumated and is eating frozen/thawed hopper mice.
