Snake of the Day 05-06-19

This 27″ female 2017 Scaleless corn snake is currently eating frozen/thawed hopper mice.   She is possibly het for Motley and Amel, since her parents were het for Scaleless Sunglow Motley.

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.

This 2018 FEMALE Butter corn snake is currently 20″ long, eating frozen/thawed large pinky mice. Her parents were both het Scaleless, so she is possibly 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), 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.

The parents of this corn snake are a Specter and a Coral Ghost.  Out of the egg it demonstrated all of the specifications for a Specter/Heliconia, which is–at this time–classified as a variant of Coral Anery/Ghost types.  In different words, no additional mutation has been identified in Specter corns (other than Anery-type and possibly a Red-modifying mutation?   We’ll show this snake–and others–as they mature, so you can all see any ontogenetic potential color changes.

Here is a 2018 corn snake from the pairing of an eXtreme Reverse Okeetee with a High-white Reverse Okeetee with heavily green blotch borders.  As a neonate, none of the green was evident, but you can see at 10 months of age, the green is starting to show?  I’ll post an updated image of this snake in six months, to see how much more green is showing.

The parents of the pinker one on the left are a Specter X Coral Ghost, and parents of the snake on the right are a Specter and a Snow.  No additional mutation has been identified in Specter corns (other than Anery-type and possibly a Red-modifying mutation?
