Snake of the Day 04-21-19

This 2018 FEMALE Butter corn snake is currently 20″ long, eating frozen/thawed large pinky mice. Her parents were both het Scaleless, so she is possibly het for Scaleless.

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 siblings) are inter-species hybrids.

It will be interesting to see how this Cherry Blizzard corn transforms in color throughout maturity.  This is the first one in the world.  She shows far too much contrast between saddles and ground color zones to be a good example of a nearly pattern-less Blizzard, but if contrast heightens, she should be an amazing corn when mature?  She appears to have just one copy of the Cherry gene mutation–therefore, she’s a Visual-het?

These two stunning hatchling Baja Mountain Kingsnakes (Lampropeltis agalma) arrived here earlier this month.  Rob Hansen produced these gems, and they are owned by Stephen Gagliardo.  WOW !  We SHOULD have babies from an older pair of Stephen’s Bajas later this summer.

This not the most dramatic distinction between Salmon (Coral) Snow Visual hets (left) and homozygote (Super) Salmon Snows (right), but this one demonstrates that perhaps 1/2 of the color density from the Red Factor gene MODIFIER is exhibited in the Visual-hets of the RF gene mutation, compared to its homozygote counterpart that possesses both of the paired gene copies of RF (Red Factor)?  The two bubble views above the snakes amply show the color distinction between these two.  These corn snakes were eight months old at the time of this article, so the color of both will intensify with age, but the homozygote will saturate exponentially more than the heterozygote.

This 2019 female High-white Reverse Okeetee corn snake is currently 11″ long, eating frozen/thawed DAY-old pinky mice.  Her parents are a High-white Reverse Okeetee and an Extreme Reverse Okeetee.  The goal of this project is to broaden the blotch margins, while eliminating the blush of color we see in the white ground zones of this beauty.  $265.00 plus $39.00    . . .
