Snake of the Day 05-07-19

This 22″ female 2018 Scaleless corn snake is currently eating frozen/thawed fuzzy mice.   She is het for Hypo and Sunkissed, since her parents were het for Scaleless Sunkisssed Hypo.

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.

This 12″ male 2019 Charcoal Terrazzo corn snake is possibly a Pewter Terrazzo.  All of our Terrazzos are direct descendants of the unbroken original Boyd Line Terrazzos (originally called Granite Corns), so, they show very little–if any–striping as adults.  He has eaten six frozen/thawed small pinky mice since hatching in March.

The parents of this corn snake are a Specter and a Coral Ghost.  Out of the egg it demonstrated all of the specifications for a Specter/Heliconia, which is–at this time–classified as a variant of Coral Anery/Ghost types.  In different words, no additional mutation has been identified in Specter corns (other than Anery-type and possibly a Red-modifying mutation?   We’ll show this snake–and others–as they mature, so you can all see any ontogenetic potential color changes.

Here is a 2018 corn snake from the pairing of an eXtreme Reverse Okeetee with a High-white Reverse Okeetee with heavily green blotch borders.  As a neonate, none of the green was evident, but you can see at 10 months of age, the green is starting to show?  I’ll post an updated image of this snake in six months, to see how much more green is showing.

The parents of the pinker one on the left are a Specter X Coral Ghost, and parents of the snake on the right are a Specter and a Snow.  No additional mutation has been identified in Specter corns (other than Anery-type and possibly a Red-modifying mutation?  

We’ll show these snakes–and others–as they mature, so you can all see any ontogenetic potential color changes.

The High-white Reverse Okeetee in the right side of this picture is the progeny of two very WHITE High-whites, but the others in this pic are the products of the 2019 project of pairing a High-white Reverse Okeetee with an eXtreme Reverse Okeetee.  Naturally, the next familial generation will hopefully render some extreme Reverse Okeetees that have less orange between markings?
