Show & Tell
The parents of this Red Factor Amel corn snake were a Super Salmon Snow and an eXtreme Okeetee het Amel. The mask of red from the Salmon parent has been slowly manifesting in this snake since it hatched. Pairing this corn to a reddish Okeetee will yield some very red Okeetees.

Comparison of a 2017 hatchling SMR Fluorescent and two 2018 hatchlings from the same parents. You can now see why I don’t sell them until they’re a few weeks old–other than making certain they love frozen/thawed pinky mice, (see pic of them from March 5, 2018, SOTD below). The yearling in this pic will mature to have even more saturated colors, through maturity. Both classically marked Fluorescent AND Banded Fluorescent hatchlings will soon be advertised on our web site.

This 2018 Scaleless female corn snake is now 13″ long, eating frozen/thawed small pinky mice. The seemingly glowing orange is surely inherited from her grandfather, a Super Sunglow Motley (so dubbed SUPER for having both of the paired gene copies of the Red Factor mutation)? Her $595.00 USD includes S O L D
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.

Aggressive “necking”?? Rare in the P.guttatus (corn snake) species, this male is constraining the female–via bite grip–during courtship and mating. The male is an eXtreme Reverse Okeetee and the female is a High-white Reverse Okeetee. Their babies should be interesting?

A friend who spent this past Christmas season with us asked to see the Variable Kingsnake (Lampropeltis thayeri) he gave me the year before. I went to the rack where it is kept and could NOT find it. I recalled when I last fed it, but could not find that snake. After exhaustively searching all racks, it was apparent that this snake was no longer caged. Our snake building is “reverse” snake-proofed (all conceivable exits are blocked). Trashes are covered and circulating fans are draped with netting, so I generally do not worry about escape or injury, but snakes have left the building–in the past–via being hauled out in boxes we’d put into storage upstairs? We always keep bowls of fresh water on the floor, next to walls, so I never worry about errant snakes dying from dehydration, but even the most unforeseeable scenarios have occurred? Recently, I carelessly allowed a Trans-pecos Ratsnake to escape its cage so I increased the number of tape traps on the floors (we only use softly stick Painter’s/masking tape). I noted crumpling and displacement of some of those traps, but naturally presumed it was the TP Ratsnake evading capture. Imagine my surprise on the morning of April 2nd when I turned a corner to open the office door, to see a snake helplessly entangled in 1/2″ masking tape (see pic 2). . . .
