I just couldn’t resist grabbing the camera after opening this Palmetto Corn Snake’s cage to remove her shed skin.

What a great opportunity to get so much color in one tight shot. When they are all stretched out, one cannot

appreciate how much color some of them display so I was happy to find her in repose inside her water bowl.

The eggs of this Banded Fluorescent Corn Snake female were sired by a Banded Fluorescent male with the same

color scheme, but unlike her, his ground color more closely matches the red of his saddles. Both have shocking

white blotch margins, so hatchlings should mature to be the same. Hatchlings will be available for shipping in June.

Naturally, the name of this morph (Pied-sided Bloodred) denotes its best photographic angle. Therefore, it’s not

easy to show you how much white is on the sides of this female, but she is a strong HIGH-expression example

of her morph. Her eggs will hatch mid-June and we’ll be shipping her 2013 progeny by early July. The variable

nature of this mutation results in this many hatchlings having a considerable range of white expression from LOW

to HIGH, and every degree between.

This Striped Tessera female is het for Ghost and her mate is a Tessera Het Striped Ghost. We believe that among other

corn snake behaviors, some females inherit the style in which they assemble their eggs when laying. This one has the

instinct to lay her eggs in an almost upright assemblage. Regardless of whether corns lay their eggs singly or cluster them

in upright or horizontal orientations, they all secure the clutch with their tails, presumably for stability while laying, but also so

they will know if any animal touches the eggs while in her care. Corn Snakes are not a species that stays with their eggs for

the entire incubation, but they will guard them – as this one demonstrates – for a few DAYs or even a couple of weeks if given

the chance. It’s never wise to let the eggs stay with their mother, since without a moist substratum and damp moss cover,

they begin dehydrating within hours of being laid. Note that the females brush away all debris (in this case, moss) prior to

laying the eggs on a relatively clean and even surface.

Scaleless Anery Corn Snake laying eggs. They should hatch in early-June and be ready for shipping by mid-June. Note her

few and random groupings of scales. Seldom are any of the rare scales on a Scaleless Mutant recognizably normal in size

or shape. It is not uncommon for corn snake eggs not to be bright white, but these eggs are fertile and will hatch normally.
