2017 Scaleless Amel Corn Snake that hatched earlier this month (May).
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. S O L D !

Certainly not namesake-remarkable, most hatchling Scaleless Butter corns (like this 10-DAY-old) show little yellow at this age, BUT the few 2016s that are growing up here at SMR have demonstrated increased saturation of color with maturity. Our oldest is now just over one year old, so our observations are not necessarily demonstrative of all Scaleless Butter corns.

This juvenile “Speckled Kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula holbrooki)” from Kansas locality parentage demonstrates this species’ classic defensive pose of everting its cloaca, to exude not only musk, but blood. Yuck! Last time I checked, it was proposed that all Speckled Kingsnakes in the state of Kansas are intergrades between L.g.holbrooki and L.g.splendida.

2017 eXtreme Okeetee corn snake. Anyone who thinks they are on the SMR Reservation List for any of these should contact me, in case your name didn’t make it to the physical 2017 Reservation List. I only have about 15 of these to sell until later this Fall when the third wave of eggs hatch. These have fed once, so in two more weeks we’ll be filling pre-season orders for them, but supplies will be limited for a few months. If you’re new to this morph, this hatchling will be one of the most colorful examples of an eXtreme Okeetee. When I hand-pick neonates that will mature to have the deepest color and contrast I look for the ones like this (with the least expression of color) that almost resemble an Anerythristic mutant.

2017 Snow Tessera from the giant (and old) female Snow with the hard yellow markings that was featured on our FB page on March 5, 2017 and on this web site April 1, 2017 (see pix below). Hopefully, this Snow Tessera and others in this brood will exhibit yellow markings, but they won’t reveal that until they are closer to a year of age. BTW, the sire of this brood of hatchlings is a Tessera, Het Scaleless Anery. Well, actually, I only NOW see that he is also het Amel. A mutation that Jim Stelpflug will confirm since the parents of his 2016 Scaleless Amel Tesseras were siblings of the sire of this brood. Bonus pic

Thank you, Ray, for this awesome Variable Kingsnake (Lampropeltis mexicana thayeri). I could not be more pleased.

2017 eXtreme (?Amel?) Tessera, parents of which were RED FACTOR BLIZZARD X TESSERA, HET BLIZZARD. I suspect / hope this is actually a RedFactor Blizzard Tessera, but it will take a few months before discerning if the color we’re seeing demonstrates Amel Tessera or RF Blizzard Tessera? If the former, it will have much deeper colors at maturity. Fingers crossed (when I’m not typing or taking photographs). Bonus pic

This 2015 female Tessera is now 30″ long, eating frozen/thawed hopper mice. She would make a great breeder for the 2018 season. Her $245.00 USD price includes Bonus pic.

The first 2017 High-white Reverse Okeetees hatched on May 2nd, so they will be feeding and ready for shipping before June 1st. Like most Reverse Okeetee and Fluorescent types, these show very little promise of the extraordinary color theme they will exhibit after a few months of meals. I know, right? They look so BLAHHH? BUT like all corns, they transform into amazing adults that will end up looking like their parents.

First sheds for these 2017 hatchlings from the pairing of an eXtreme Reverse Okeetee and an exceptionally dark eXtreme Okeetee (Het Amel). After a few meals, they’ll be listed for sale on our web site. Bonus pic
