Snake of the Day 03-04-19

Show & Tell

Three Terrazzos that hatched on Feb. 26, 2019 (two Terrazzos, Het Charcoal and one Charcoal Terrazzo).  The original ancestry of this mutation compound was a Pewter bred to a Boyd-line Terrazzo.  The one facing the camera exhibits a Masque head pattern, so this was inherited from the PEWTER patriarch of this Boyd-line Terrazzo line.  The debris stuck to the snakes is particulate vermiculite from their incubation medium.

Relatively boring in the color department, this 2019 hatchling Scaleless Butter will be very yellow as an adult, AND will eventually reveal more of her pattern (difficult to see at this tender age).  Probably just polygenetically striped (VS. being a Striped mutant) since she shows dotted dorsal pattern toward and on the tail?

note:  ALL Scaleless corns in the hobby toDAY (including SCALED corns that are carriers of the Scale-less mutation–aka Het Scaleless), AND even possible-hets 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 relatives) are inter-species hybrids.

Thanks, Kevin Saunders, for this beautifully dark Scaleless corn snake.  At first, I thought I had a Scaleless Texas Ratsnake–because of the large lateral spots and the general coloration–but belly markings are spot-on for corns.  I only know one person who got progeny from the pairing of a het Scaleless Texas Ratsnake to a Scaleless corn snake.  They did not get any Scaleless progeny, but obviously, more trials are necessary before saying that their Scaleless genes are not allelic (not located on the same DNA locus–therefore, not compatible)?  When I breed this snake to a Scaleless corn, I’ll quickly share the results. BTW, this one is possibly het for Amel, Hypo and Sunkissed.
