Snake of the Day 02-03-18

This 2016 Scaleless Amel corn snake demonstrates a huge volume of scales, though they are random, small and irregularly shaped, compared to those of classically scaled corns.  Look at the zone of scales on the “jaws”.  

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.

Three 2016 Scaleless Corn Snakes when they were a few weeks old.  More of these are expected to hatch in the next four to six weeks.

This male Super Salmon Snow corn snake shows promise of being quite the show-off when mature.  How much deeper can the colors get on Coral Snow types??  This is a sub-2-yr-old, so colors are not finished saturating.

Thank you, Travis Whisler and John Stolz for this amazing corn.  Viewers may have trouble believing it, but this is an Anery Tessera from a Strawberry parent.  WHERE’S THE BLACK??  The father is a Strawberry Anery Blood and the mother is an Ultramel Anery Tessera Het Strawberry.  The Strawberry line is descended from stock acquired from Chuck Pretzel and Connie Hurley, so I’m delighted to finally get some Strawberry stock that I KNOW is genuinely Strawberry, VS., one of the other red-modifying gene mutations.  Of course, Jim Stelpflug is the discoverer of the Strawberry mutation (wow, Jim).  Thanks, Jim, Mitch, Travis, and John for this rare opportunity.
