Snake of the Day 11-21-17

Show & Tell

Aside from having uncommonly contiguous linear striping this 2016 Striped Bloodred shows some lateral scales of varying shades of red.  This is surely because both parents were het for the Pied-sided gene mutation.  Hence, this snake COULD be a Pied-sided (aka: P/S) Bloodred that is not exhibiting any white?  I only held onto this one for the good striping so I don’t care of it is a P/S mutant or not.

Thank you, Brad, for this beautiful hognose. 

The Axanthic mutation (meaning NO yellow) of the Western Hognose snake (Heterodon nasicus) is perhaps one of the prettiest monochromatic mutations in the snake hobby?  Add the Anaconda mutation and you end up with a stunning combination.  All U.S. hognose snakes are venomous, but they rarely bite humans, and their venom renders more of an allergic reaction than pain and visible tissue damage.  Like most animals, Hognoses are creatures of habit, so once they get in the habit of a routine feeding regimen, when their cages are opened, most of them come out with mouths agape.  They often don’t abandon that behavior until something is in their mouths, so don’t let that “something” be one or your fingers.   Bonus PIC . . .

This 16″ male 2016 corn snake is het for Scaleless.  He is currently eating frozen/thawed pinky mice.   One of his parents was a Scaleless Hypo Sunkissed corn, so he is het for Scaleless AND Sunkissed and Hypo A mutations.  His $225.00 price 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) and are therefore technically inter-species hybrids.

I KNOW.  Not exactly the Snake Of The Day, right?  Found this gal munchin down on some moths near the porch light a few nights ago.  Talk about camouflage?  Love the pattern on the wings. Bonus PICs . . .

This 34” male corn has got to be het for something, but in so much as his cage label disappeared during brumation a few months ago, I must offer him as a beautiful and somewhat aberrant corn snake.  Of course, he’s eating frozen/thawed weaned mice and has a great demeanor.   His $145.00 price includes    S O L D
