Snake of the Day 06-07-18d

Show & Tell 

Featured on SOTD, 06-06-18 this month, comparatives of the degree of scalation between the Scaleless Sunglow Motley and a wild-colored Scaleless corn. I doubt that any two Scaleless mutants could be more opposing with regard to scale volume than these two. The wild-colored one has a much higher scale count than most Scaleless mutants, and the Sun Motley has almost none. Most Scaleless mutants have many (or ALL) belly scales, as is the case with both of toDAY’s featured corn snakes. PIC 4 shows the only scales above the belly scale zones on the Sun Motley (of course, there are facial scales like the ones visible at this angle, on the opposite side of the snake’s face).

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. BONUS  PICs . . .

Neither of the 2018 Scaleless corns in PIC 1 is a Motley mutant.  Many non-Motley Scaleless corns exhibit orderly, crisp, and contrasting pattern, that often resembles the classic Motley pattern mutation.  In fact, most Scaleless Motleys have orderly but soft markings.   BONUS  PIC . . .

This 13″ female 2018 Scaleless corn snake is currently eating small frozen/thawed pinky mice. I don’t often name snakes, but when this lil girl was absorbing her yolk (while she was still in her egg) at first glance, she appeared to be winking at me, so I named her WINK.  Naturally, it was obvious that she had no right eye.  Upon closer examination–after she was out of the egg–I felt a dorsal kink above her cloaca (where the retained skin is showing in this pic).  After this pic she sloughed the tail skin.  I’m selling her at a PET GRADE price that’s half the value of most Scaleless corn snake hatchlings.  She has eaten five frozen/thawed pinkies, and has never refused a meal.  Her $225.00 price includes      If we use a shipping airbill from YOUR FedEx account, deduct $60.00 from the above price.

Sure, wild-type reptiles of any species have classic beauty, but who cannot at least appreciate a mutation of a species like this Palmetto Corn Snake (a Leucistic-type)?  Contact Travis Whisler Reptiles if you NEED one of these in your snake collection.
