This 2017 female Buttermint (Caramel Amel Cinder) corn snake is now 23″ long, eating frozen/thawed large pinky mice. Most of the Buttermints I’ve produced had half the yellow intensity of this one, so she should have obvious markings with lacy contrast, as an adult. All of the other Buttermints we’ve produced barely showed any color at all when mature. Her $225.00 USD includes S O L D

Informative Story:
First, though it appears that there are two different snake eggs hatching in this picture, it’s actually a left/right view of the same pipped egg, merged into a single image. I’m angry with myself for all the times I walked by the incubation box containing this egg, without photographing what I want to describe toDAY. DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME – – –

Thank you, Kevin Saunders, for this beautiful female Scaleless corn. Kevin and I swapped Scaleless corns last year (one of my hatchlings for one of his). This gal is het for Anery and possibly het for Amel, Hypo, and Sunkissed. Similar in general appearance to some of the Scaleless Texas Ratsnakes out there, but belly checkering is utterly CORN.

Catherine Turley produced (and owns) this stunning Banded Reverse Okeetee. OR is it a Banded Fluorescent? I need to ask her. . . .

Corn Snake portrait gallery; Adult Amel. How many recall the futility of suffering the limitations of film photography? It’s so nice toDAY to enjoy the immediacy of not having to purchase and store film, load it into the camera, getting the exposed rolls off to the processor in a timely fashion, and being disappointed a week later when we finally got to see the the many pix we shot with the wrong settings? Just had a few extra minutes to walk around the racks, randomly shooting snakes in situ. s …

This is the last Scaleless Sunglow Motley corn snake of the first 2018 season wave of eggs. I have one more shot at these again in a few months. Featured recently–describing that this scale-less version of a Sunglow Motley demonstrates that their pattern is the result of at least two dermal layers. We can see that there is less color and contrast in the scale-less version, compared to most of its scaled counterparts? BTW, at the time of this photograph, this snake had not yet shed her first skin. She was only four DAYs-old a few DAYs ago.
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 . . .

Catherine Turley owns this stunning female Miami Okeetee corn snake (bred this season by a SMR male). This picture demonstrates being on first base toward the HOME RUN of having some beautiful Miami Okeetees to sell in about 75 DAYs. Thanks, Catherine.

In June of 2008, I was photographing these Motleys that were hatching. I was going for a shot of two out-facing “book end” poses, but just when I had preset the focal plane of the two Motleys coming out of their eggs, I pressed the shutter button at the very second that a Motley shot toward me between the two hatching corns. I realize it looks as though I super-imposed the head onto this pic, but you can see the neck below the head, and a large part of his body trailing behind (out of focus). One of those “wow” shots that was unexpected? Did not even know the neonate was cruising the cage until its curiosity compelled it to race into the focal plane of the two hatching Motleys. I didn’t even have time for a second shot of all three, because the “racer” was already well out of the focal field before I realized what had happened. Sometimes it’s “better to be lucky than good”, eh?
