Juvenile Scaleless Tessera corn snake.

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.

Show & Tell

What first appears on this High-white Reverse Okeetee hatchling to be skin showing between scales is demonstrated in the inset macro shot to actually be color-less zones ON scales ground zone scales.  This snake is a little over weight (see the folds on the body profile in the center of the portrait shot), so one would mistakenly expect all of the “grey” lace pattern to be skin showing between scales.  As you can see, all of the scales are touching, exposing no skin between.  BONUS  PIC . . .

Which corn snake is not related to the others?  One is the product of pairing an eXtreme Reverse Okeetee with a High-white Reverse Okeetee.  The other two are from eXtreme Reverse Okeetee X same.  No idea how the eXtreme High-white Reverse Okeetee will look at maturity, but I look forward to breeding two of the best white ones together when they are mature?  Then, putting Tessera into that family tree.  BONUS  PIC . . .

These three Buf sibling corn snakes are from the pairing of a Buf Sunkissed female (owned by Catherine Turley) and a SMR Striped Tessera.  Siblings included Tessera and Buf Tessera, as well as non-Tessera wild types.  Parent Pic . . .

I love the results of the cross of a Catherine Turley Striped Buf Amel with a Candy Cane Tessera. The one in the middle with the yellow ground color is, of course, a Buf Amel.

Show & Tell

These 2018 hatchings are products of the pairing of two snakes owned by Catherine Turley, a Creamsicle Okeetee X Banded Reverse Okeetee.  Both parents are exceptional examples of those morphs, the Reverse Okeetee being spectacularly banded.  Creamsicles are the interspecies hybrid results of crossing Emory’s Ratsnake (aka: Great Plains Ratsnake) with Cornsnake.

This brood of corns is from the pairing of an Ultramel Tessera to a High-white Reverse Okeetee (female Tessera owned by Catherine Turley) show–at the time of this photograph–before all of the eggs had hatched; Ultramel Tessera, Ultramel Ghost Tessera, Ultramel Anery Tessera, Snow Tessera, AND if you look in the lower left corner, what appears to be an Ultramel Ghost that’s NOT Tessera.

No, these are not Anery corns.  These are from two Maimi Okeetee parents.  They should mature to be beautiful adults.  The Amels were a pleasant surprise.  Also, note that some have decent banding.  They just hatched two DAYs ago, so after a shed and a few feedings, they’ll be offered for sale on our web site.  The Amels will either be expensive or not for sale.  I’ll know more after they shed.
