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.

The subject of toDAY’s SOTD is a comparative demonstration between a Scaleless Cornsnake and a Scaleless Motley Cornsnake.  I chose two siblings from the pairing of two Corns that are het for Scaleless Sunglow Motley (neither of these is Amelanistic, therefore, not Sunglow).  SO, you’re seeing obvious expression of their Red Factor mutation, but toDAY’s feature is meant to show that the majority of the obvious Motley pattern in corns resides in the outer epidermal layers, that are missing in the Scaleless snake shown toDAY.  Had I hatched a SCALED non-Amel Motley in this brood I’d have shown that one, instead of this non-Motley, but it’s obvious enough that most–if not ALL–Scaleless Motleys have very faint patterns.  Many Striped Scaleless corns appear to be pattern-less.

Thank you, Dr. Brad Lichtenhan for making this double mutant, BLACK-SILVERLEAF Kisatchie Ratsnake.  I’ve waited a long time for this mutation compound. Imagine how successful a species is with eyes that are hidden in black facial markings like toDAY’s SOTD?  One of the things we like most about the BLACK (aka: Anerythristic) mutation in this species is that they do not retain/exhibit any carotenoid yellow through maturity.   History of the species . . .
