Siblings of this 18″ female 2017 corn snake included Blizzards AND Snows, so this one COULD be a Blizzard Snow, but I’m pricing her as a Blizzard.  She is currently eating frozen/thawed medium pinky mice.  Her $125.00 price includes      S O L D

This 19″ female 2017 “?CORAL?” Snow corn snake is currently eating frozen/thawed medium pinky mice.  Parents were Bloodred x Snow, but she obviously inherited some color that was unexpected in her parents?  Her $125.00 price includes     S O L D

Close-up shot of the heads of two Scaleless corn snakes.  Just as seed-less grapes actually have seeds, scale-less corn snakes have scales, though largely random in body location and NEVER like scales on other corn snakes, except that most Scaleless corn snakes have almost classically scaled bellies like their nominate form. 

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.

There isn’t much talk about Java Corns these DAYs, but I have always liked them,  since getting some amazing Java corns from Bryan Laubscher in South Africa many years ago.  I don’t think anyone proved its inheritance to ANYone’s satisfaction, but I made this snake via the most logical out-cross trial; JAVA x KASTANIE.  ToDAY’s featured SOTD was bred to a male with the same genes, so we’ll see how they look as hatchlings in a few weeks.  It’s been many years since I bred these two.

Same two snakes featured in yesterDAY’s SOTD, but showing most of their bodies, instead of the close-up of their heads.

This gravid PARADOX Lavender Corn Snake (named KATE MOSS) is owned by Dave Partington.  She was bred to a Lavender a few weeks ago and appears to be in a “family way”.  Hopefully, she’ll grace us with some nice eggs in a couple of weeks?   No, this look is not reproducible.  Just one of those rare snakes that has colors (or doesn’t have colors) that DO NOT derive from a heritable gene or genes?  I couldn’t use a Nikon with a macro lens on the DAY I wrote this article, so this shot is from an iphone 7.  Not as crisp resolution as I get from Nikon, but it adequately portrays this beautiful corn.

Uncommonly marked Palmetto Corn Snake.  No, we sold the project to Travis Whisler Reptiles, so we don’t have any for sale, but Travis is expecting hatchlings in a few short weeks.  I think he may also have some older Palmettos for sale.  He can be reached through his FaceBook page, Travis Whisler Reptiles or his web site, twreptiles.comBONUS  PIC . . .
